Homelessness/Housing

Besides educating ourselves and LWVBC about the issues of homelessness and housing, our team will explore the best service groups to possibly align with, and may potentially do a public education forum in 2022. The Housing Team will not only explore and advocate for each city’s Housing Elements, it will also evaluate and potentially re-write our LWVBC Housing Position.
