Dear Friends,
We are excited that several local faith communities have come together to address the housing crisis in our Fox Cities neighborhoods. To broaden the reach of this work, we are inviting faith communities to attend a day-long summit on Saturday, Oct 12th, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM at First Congregational United Church of Christ, 724 East South River St, Appleton.
Summit Goals
1. Inspire area faith communities to address the local housing crisis; and,
2. Commitment to collective action(s) to bring about systemic change.
There will be eight speakers offering insights into the current housing situation and sharing strategies from mobilizing our neighborhoods around the housing crisis to exploring different affordable housing developments.
Following are the speakers. Click on their organization name for more information.
