FEBRUARY BRANCH MEETING
Tuesday, February 4th 6:00 PM
Butte County Library, 1808 Sherman Ave., Chico
- Why are senior women the fastest growing demographic in our homeless population?
- What is the current situation in Chico for unhoused women?
- Do our generalized, judgmental opinions about them match reality?
Three very knowledgeable women, who have firsthand experience, will join us for presentations, stories and a panel Q&A session.
We will be very fortunate to hear from
Hillary Crosby, Executive Director of Safe Space
Taylor Storey, Executive Director of True North/Torres Shelter
Natalie Conrad with the stories of homeless women with whom she has worked
We know there will be a lot of questions, so please be prepared with a
short, focused question. This allows more time to hear from the
professionals.
Of course you can invite a friend. See you there.
