Mark your calendar and save the date for State Senator Catherine S. Blakespear’s Third Annual Ending Street Homelessness Summit. Join us for a solutions-driven forum featuring three expert panels focused on how California can reach functional zero for unsheltered homelessness.

Panel discussions will examine the state of unsheltered homelessness, why progress has been slow, what needs to change, and how effective interim housing models can move people off the streets now. To truly make progress, we must act with urgency, expand our idea of what housing can look like, remove barriers to interim options, and hold every level of government accountable. I hope you will join us for this important conversation.

Confirmed panelists include: San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, San Diego County Supervisors Monica Montgomery-Steppe and Paloma Aguirre, San Diego Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, Vista City Councilmember Katie Melendez, and Dignity Moves CEO Elizabeth Funk.

Welcome reception and registration begin at 8:30 a.m. Directions and parking instructions will be emailed prior to the event.
