Keynote Speaker
Donald W. Burnes, PhD.

About the Book:

“How do individuals move from being homeless to finding safe, stable, and secure places to live? Can we recreate the conditions that helped them most? What policies are needed to support what worked—and to remove common obstacles?”

​Monday - April 20, 2020
to be held at
Fort Lewis College Ballroom
​

Everyone is invited to learn from local service providers working together to assist people experiencing homelessness in surviving and eventual exiting homelessness in our community. 

​Homelessness is increasing across the country, due to many reasons — the economy, lack of affordable housing, job loss, domestic violence, loss of family, major illness, mental illness, and more — learn about our community’s approaches in best practices & strategies toward ending homelessness in Durango, La Plata County.  

2020 Forum Ending Homelessness is the second forum held in Durango by Community Compassion Outreach since 2018.

The conference offers an opportunity for providers, volunteers, students, businesses, government leaders and residents in La Plata County to learn how experts across the country have successfully ended homelessness. Working together, we can succeed with viable solutions to prevent and shorten lived experiences in homelessness in our beautiful community.

The lived experiences of local unhoused individuals and families will be heard.

​EVENTBRITE Invitations will be available by the end of January 2020.
