City and County Schedule Listening Session for Nov. 18 at the Burlington Branch Library on the Problem of Homelessness

~ from TOWN HALL EAST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION Newsletter

The Knoxville-Knox County Office of Housing Stability will host a series of public listening sessions to hear from people affected by homelessness in any way. One of these sessions will take place in the Burlington Branch Library on November 18 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Attendees can share how they have been affected and their ideas on how to move forward. These discussions will help shape the Office’s five-year strategic plan to address homelessness, which is due for release in late spring 2025.

In addition to the Burlington session, there will be three other similar events on November 5, 6, and 20 at the Powell Branch Library, the Cedar Bluff Branch Library, and the South Knoxville Community Center respectively. For further information on the times and addresses of these venues go to Office of Housing Stability Hosts Meetings to Inform Strategic Plan – City of Knoxville
