On March 30, the TYP began to engage in an important conversation with the community about permanent supportive housing.
In order for permanent housing to succeed, it must be developed and operated in such a way that it serves the interests of PSH residents AND the interests of their neighbors. If both sets of interests can be honored, everyone wins, and our community will make strides towards ending homelessness.
The March 30 meeting at Cherokee Health Systems was a first giant step in the right direction. You can review extensive meeting notes of that meeting here.
Public meeting: Wednesday, May 6
We want to invite the community to continue to help us shape a set of principles to guide the successful development and operation of PSH in our community.
At our next public meeting, we’d like to use what the March 30 group generated and take it further towards that goal. The meeting is open to the public. Please join us.
Date: Wed, May 6
Time: 6-8pm
Location: Knox County Public Defenders Community Law Office, 1101 Liberty Street, near the intersection of Liberty and Division Street just off Sutherland Avenue.
