The Lived Experience Subcommittee hosted a Women’s Focus Group on April 24, 2025, at Strides Shelter. The event aimed to discuss the factors contributing to homelessness, identify beneficial services, and explore ways service providers can enhance their support. Participants provided positive feedback and emphasized the significant impact of services offered by various CSPH organizations. The subcommittee plans to make these sessions a regular occurrence at Strides Shelter.
On the following day, Angela Worthy, a Justice Victim Advocate from E&E, shared her story with others experiencing homelessness. Her presentation, which included narratives of resilience from representatives of CU Church and Second Chance Sober Living, reached over 70 individuals. These stories provided much-needed encouragement to those facing challenges related to homelessness.
The discussions and presentations highlighted the ongoing efforts to address homelessness and improve community services.
