In the face of increasing rents and decreasing access to affordable housing, who are our most vulnerable neighbors when it comes to housing accessibility? What are the opportunities for Gospel practice in the places we occupy and its implications for our neighbors?
In this workshop, we will learn about the landscape of housing in our city today and hear from practitioners working with vulnerable New Yorkers to find and remain in their homes.
Speakers include:
Matthew Dunbar - Vice President, External Affairs, Habitat for Humanity NYC
Josiah Haken - Vice President, Outreach Operations, New York City Relief
Rev. José Humphreys - Pastor, Metro Hope Covenant Church and author of Seeing Jesus in East Harlem: What Happens When Churches Show Up and Stay Put
