Public libraries can feel like a living room, a soft hug or even a safe haven. They offer warmth, predictability, comfortable spaces and kind people. Most importantly, libraries offer books, which provide individuals the rare opportunity to escape to a new reality with each chapter.
Thirty years ago in 1989, the Council for the Homeless was founded by Clark County, City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Housing Authority to lead and coordinate the work of addressing homelessness throughout Clark County. There are many accomplishments and milestones in this work both for our organization and for the community as a whole. Yet, factors that contribute to homelessness do not stand still and the conversations about solutions to homelessness are dynamic.
