Our responsibility to one another has never been clearer. Whether religious or nonreligious -- human flourishing remains at the top of everyone's list. 

And yet, according to the Los Angeles Times, homelessness in Los Angeles County increased by 75% over six years. The paper recently described the situation as a national disgrace.

Nevertheless, the question remains: what are we to do?

Homelessness is a real issue even in our neighborhood: Diamond Bar, Walnut, Pomona, Roland Heights.  

The Face of Homelessness event is an opportunity to

• Educate yourself on what really is going on
• See how organizations are working to help
• Learn about the public safety aspect of homelessness
• Understand how you can to help in an effective way

This is dialogue about local issues by local social workers working to make a difference. This is an informal setting to hear from and talk with folks in our community that are working hands on to make a difference in this very serious issue.
