For National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, the UW Chapter of WashPIRG has coordinated a panel of social workers, people studying homelessness, and people currently/formerly experiencing homelessness coming to speak at the university. The panel will be on Nov. 14th, from 5-7 p.m. in Smith 211. The speakers come from DESC, Real Change News, WeCount, Street Soccer Seattle, Capitol Hill Housing, and REACH, and will speak on the “definition” of homelessness, the criminalization of homelessness and poverty, the housing affordability crisis, and intersectionality in homelessness. The panel will include an MSW alum.
