In case you missed it, a recording is available of our recent panel discussing the intersection of gender and homelessness, with an emphasis on the experiences of unhoused women in Silicon Valley.
The panel features Dr. Jesilyn Faust of SCU’s Political Science Department. Dr. Faust is an Unhoused Initiative Faculty Research Grant awardee and recently conducted a community-based study of unhoused women in San Jose. Joining Prof. Faust are Denisse Vera-Romo of SCU’s International Human Rights Clinic and Elizabeth Colorado from Destination: Home’s Lived Experience Advisory Board.
The panel provides an overview of the experiences of unhoused women – cis and trans – in Silicon Valley, describes why this population’s needs are unique, and highlights opportunities for advocacy. If you were unable to attend, be sure to check out the recording linked above!
