Gregg Colburn, associate professor at the University of Washington and co-author of the books Homelessness is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S. Patterns and Affordable Housing in the United States, will discuss conventional beliefs about what drives homelessness—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and why none of those fully explain the root cause: housing market conditions. Colburn will outline the types of policies that can best help cities like Albuquerque address this issue. A reception will follow the lecture, offering an opportunity to connect and continue the conversation.

Childcare and interpretation will be provided. When reserving your ticket, please indicate if you need childcare or interpretation. This is a free, ticketed event that we anticipate will sell out, so we encourage you to get your ticket today!
