It’s different in every community, but homelessness affects every Kentucky city. During this webinar, experts will review causes and responses to persons who are unhoused or housing insecure.
Causes: At the request of members, KLC partnered with Eastern Kentucky University’s Department of Government to create a data snapshot for every Kentucky county, outlining figures on unhoused individuals (including children and veterans), rent availability/affordability, average wages for renters, and other local metrics. This valuable data can be used by multiple organizations in your community.
Responses: Professionals from the Homelessness and Housing Coalition of Kentucky will help explain why the data matters to leaders. They will also review how to interact with the diverse population of unhoused persons in your community, including where to direct them for housing, mental health, addiction/recovery services, and more.
