This Summer and Fall, Commissioner Michelle Long Spears invites you to step into the spaces where compassion lives. This Interfaith Community Series on Homelessness brings together residents of DeKalb County District 2 for three intimate gatherings at sacred spaces across our community, where faith leaders are already doing the daily work of caring for our unhoused neighbors. 

You will hear how communities are responding and add your voice to conversations that have the power to shape outcomes and form solutions to this most pressing need. This is civic engagement as an act of love, and your presence matters. 

Space is limited. Come ready to listen, to learn, and to be changed. 

Each gathering is open to all residents of DeKalb County District 2 and beyond. These spaces welcome people of every faith tradition and of no faith tradition. All are welcome. All are needed. Come to one gathering or come to all. Please RSVP. 

This session will focus on practical responses to homelessness and housing insecurity. Participants will learn about Rebecca’s Tent, Shearith Israel’s shelter program for women experiencing homelessness, and will have the opportunity to tour the facility. The discussion will highlight how faith communities translate values into direct service and community support.

We look forward to seeing you at the gatherings.
