There have always been those at risk of losing their housing in our midst… but the risks and stakes have never been higher than 2026. Shifts in federal policy coupled with rising housing costs have raised the threat of homelessness for hundreds of households throughout our community.
Join SB ACT and local partners on Monday, June 8 at 12pm at the First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Center (21 E Constance Ave, SB) for an important community meeting to understand these changes and learn the steps YOU can take to help your friends, neighbors, employees, faith community members, and more to stay housed.
Light refreshments will be provided.
