Building Belonging: Understanding Homelessness Together
August 28 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Join us for Building Belonging: Understanding Homelessness Together—a community-centered event focused on fostering meaningful dialogue and connection around two critical issues: homelessness and housing in our local area.
We’ll begin with a brief 10–15 minute introduction to A Place to Call Home, where we’ll share who we are, what we do, and how our programming supports those experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. From there, we’ll open the floor for a dynamic, discussion-driven session.
This event is intentionally interactive—your questions, ideas, and experiences are at the heart of it. We’ll explore the complex landscape of housing, discuss what’s happening locally, and create space for a deeper understanding of the systems, challenges, and opportunities facing our community.

Understanding and Addressing Social Determinants of Health
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are the conditions where people live, learn, work, and play that shape health risks and outcomes. These factors go beyond individual choices and have a major impact on well-being.
Economic Stability
Economic factors like income and employment affect access to essentials like housing, healthcare, and food, creating barriers to good health for those in financial hardship.
Neighborhood & Physical Environment
The environment you live in—safe, clean areas with access to green spaces and resources—can support better health, while unsafe or polluted areas contribute to poor health.
Education
Higher education levels lead to better job opportunities and healthier lifestyles. Education empowers individuals to make informed health choices.
Food
Access to healthy, affordable food is essential for preventing chronic diseases. Food insecurity is directly linked to poor health outcomes.
Community, Safety, & Social Context
Strong social connections and safe neighborhoods promote resilience and good mental health. Isolation or unsafe surroundings increase stress and health risks.
Health Care System
Access to quality healthcare is crucial for managing and preventing health issues. Limited access creates significant barriers to maintaining good health.
