Homelessness and the Meaning of Home @ Humanities Washington Online Speaker Event

Speaker: Josephine Ensign.

This is an online virtual program. You will receive a reminder email along with the link to view from home. You may come to the library to watch this Online Event.

Registrants will have access to the recording for up to 3 days following the event.

Loss of a home, whether through financial difficulties, divorce, illness,

or natural disasters like wildfires, is a widespread and growing problem affecting all of us.

Often thought of as only an urban problem, homelessness also occurs in suburban and rural areas throughout Washington State. What are the historical roots of homelessness, and what lessons can we learn from them? What are the common meanings of home to us, and how can we apply those meanings to our responses to homelessness in our communities?
