OpenIDEO SF: Homelessness Challenge

From the event description:

We are excited to host our third formal gathering of the year to kick off the challenge of homelessness that we will work on for the next six months of 2019. In our first event of this year, the community brainstormed the immediate and most pressing challenges we face in San Francisco and the Bay Area; homelessness was voted as the most pressing. In the second gathering, the community looked at the topic of homelessness and created "how might we" questions. Since then, we have contacted around 40 different organizations that are providing services. Now, we are getting together to learn more about the problem and plan our future steps.  

When: Wednesday, July 10, 6-8 p.m.
