The Do’s and Don’ts of Homelessness Ordinances and Policy

Homelessness is not a novelty issue for local governments, but surges in addiction have exacerbated the issue. Cities are grappling with managing the various issues homelessness brings. This webinar is aimed to discuss best practices when crafting ordinances and policies addressing homelessness. Some topics may be added or removed from this presentation.
