    Listening Circle: Experiences with Being Unhoused

    Are you, or have you ever been, unhoused? Come share your experiences. What did or do you need? What do you want housed people to know? How should the city change its actions?

    This listening circle will include representatives of the Coalition For A Safer Albuquerque, lawyers representing people who are unhoused, and advocates for people who don’t have an address. A light lunch will be provided.
