The following description comes from the event organizer.

Please join us for a post-show conversation in support of Rent, exploring housing and belonging. In partnership with Oregon Humanities, guest speaker Paul Susi will lead a discussion and presentation about housing instability and economic uncertainty surrounding the houseless/homeless communities of Oregon and how we decide who “belongs” in our community.

Housing and homelessness is a visible and divisive issue in local media, in politics, and across different communities within our state. Many of us were experiencing housing instability and economic uncertainty even during the “boom” times before the current crisis. This conversation will explore common assumptions and perspectives about the experience of houselessness/homelessness and seek to answer the question: How do we decide who “belongs” in our community?

This event is free and open to the public.
