~This is a BOMA/GLA Member Only Event~
There is deep frustration across our entire community &ndash\; including the commercial real estate industry &ndash\; about the human tragedy of homelessness.
Many questions have emerged in recent years about the deep-rooted systemic constraints to ending our homeless crisis and how to chart a way forward: Should elected officials appoint a &ldquo\;homeless czar&rdquo\; or grant new authorities to government agencies so they can be accountable? How have recent lawsuits changed the landscape in combatting homelessness &ndash\; has it fomented chaos or forced our hand to act?
The homelessness crisis has reached a boiling point and is becoming more complex by the day. How do BOMA/GLA members make sense of this situation and where do we engage to be part of productive policy and practical solutions?
