True North Organizing Network had hosted a forum on homelessness Oct. 10 where it introduced its Homeless Local Organizing Committee. That committee created a community-wide initiative to end homelessness and has convinced city and county officials to resolve to make ending local homelessness a priority.
Gitlin said he also invited State Sen. Mike McGuire and Assemblyman Jim Wood. McGuire was unable to make the meeting and Gitlin said he didn’t hear back from Wood.
During Wednesday’s town hall meeting, Gitlin also introduced local attorney Bill Gray, who gave an analysis of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision in Martin v. the City of Boise.
