Bridging Divides

Voices and Visions about Homelessness in Mid-Size Cities

A documentary screening and panel discussion about perceptions of homelessness in mid-size cities, including Cambridge.

In Bridging Divides: Voices and Visions about Homelessness in Mid-Size Cities, we've invited five individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their perspectives about homelessness, public space, and safety in their community. The film features a conversation with two people with lived experience of homelessness and housing precarity, a service provider, business owner, and a member of law enforcement about the causes and consequences of homelessness and ways forward. The documentary provides a greater understanding about homelessness among diverse members of the community with the goal of helping to move towards positive, solutions-focused responses that help build feelings of safety and a sense of belonging for all.

 
Following the documentary, there will be a panel discussion and question and answer period featuring Jose de Lima, Dr. Bill O'Grady, Marjorie Knight, Dr. Laura Pin, and Dr. Carrie Anne Marshall.
 

Light refreshments will be served.
