What does a stronger future for children and families look like in our community?

Join us for the Kids First Community Forum as we bring together community members, nonprofits, faith organizations, schools, healthcare providers, city leaders, and other stakeholders to address one of the most pressing issues facing families today—housing instability and homelessness.

This forum is an opportunity to:
✅ Learn about local homelessness risk factors and current support systems
✅ Share your experiences, concerns, and ideas
✅ Identify community strengths and service gaps
✅ Develop solutions together
✅ Build a network committed to lasting change

Every voice matters. Whether you are a parent, educator, service provider, business owner, faith leader, advocate, or concerned community member, your perspective can help shape a stronger future for children and families.

Together, we can create a community where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Register here to attend: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kids-first-action-forum-tickets-1988441148001?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
