Faces of Homelessness: An Intimate Conversation

In partnership with Hands on Hartford, UConn Hartford welcomed to campus some of our neighbors who have experienced homelessness. A brimming room of students, staff, and faculty listened as the guests bravely shared their personal stories of homelessness and recovery. The conversation worked to dispel myths, educate audiences about the causes of homelessness, and encourage us all to engage with all members of our community to cultivate meaningful change. It all starts with a conversation and UConn Hartford plans to convene many more that will connect us with our community.
