Discussion Session #1
• Do you know anyone at risk of homelessness, or who has experienced homelessness? What would have been the best help for them, or you, in that situation? What, if anything, could have prevented that situation?
• You’ve heard about a number of groups working together to respond to unsheltered homelessness in our community. Does it seem like anyone, or any group, is missing from this network?
• Is there a role you want to play in our community response? If so, how would you like to be part of this work?

• Is there anything you’ve heard from the panel that you think is helpful or important for others in the community to know?
• Given what it takes to make a shelter successful, what role would you like to play if one were being considered for your neighborhood?
• Do you think we can better help people who are unsheltered transition out of homelessness? If so, how?
