Calendar notes for the week of March 20, 2023.
Know Before You Grow will be Wednesday evening. As is our new standard, information can be found on the Urban Chat calendar.
From Dave’s post this week…
I’m excited about the topic. I like the rigor the authors bring to their analysis of the causes behind rates of homelessness and the earnestness of the author who will speak to us via a video recording.
However, I’m aware this will be the second straight KBYG forum to touch on homelessness, and wonder if some might be wondering about the connection between Urban Chat and homelessness. Well, the Urban Chat mission statement includes “Housing to meet community needs” and community needs certainly include paths out of homelessness.

Calendar notes for the week of February 27, 2023.
Our weekly update has a new format! And we have a new calendar to support it. You can find the calendar here.
This evening may be the long-awaited (15 years!) resolution of the Scott Ranch project at D and Windsor Streets at the City Council meeting as well as a workshop on the updated draft Housing Element.
On March 13th, the City will hold a goals-setting workshop. Let us know if you are unable to attend but would like to join a discussion to arrive at a consolidated set of ideas from Urban Chat. (Email davealden@urbanchat.org)
