A special presentation in 2021 (recording below)
For our 101st birthday and the official close of our Centennial Celebration, we gave our supporters a gift! University of Washington researcher and author of the book “Homelessness is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S. Patterns”, Gregg Colburn presented his new research about the true root of homelessness. After a Q&A session with Gregg, our very own Executive Director Mary Steele and LCSNW CEO David Duea joined us to talk about the state of Compass and where we’re going.
