Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness
Inspired by the momentum already building in Indianapolis after a similar screening, our goal is to spark a whole-community response here in Greater Lafayette. Ending homelessness requires all of us—service providers, business leaders, landlords, public officials, healthcare institutions, educators, faith communities, and neighbors.
In conjunction with National Homelessness Awareness Month, this event features a screening of the powerful documentary Beyond the Bridge: A Solution to Homelessness, which highlights Milwaukee’s remarkable success in reducing homelessness through permanent supportive housing and a housing-first approach. The event is FREE – please RSVP through the event site below.
