A Town Hall on the Pending Eviction Crisis
Thursday, November 19 | 4 pm - 6 pm​
COVID-19, the pandemic-induced recession, and high-tension elections have dramatically impacted OPAC's programming and the emerging needs of our community. This triple threat significantly shapes the need for affordable housing, accessibility, equity, and justice. As eviction moratoriums come to a close and unemployment rates remain high, we want to address the pending eviction crisis. How does this affect already vulnerable communities? Who’s next? What comes next? 
​
Join us for this Town Hall-style virtual event with panelists of different backgrounds, insights, and perspectives.

This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit calhum.org.

This Town Hall is part of a two-year (2020-22) series called "CLOSE TO HOME: A community conversation spotlighting the people, places, and perspectives surrounding homelessness." Like other large cities in California, Oxnard is being severely impacted by the state’s homeless crisis. The 2019 point-in-time homeless count identified 548 people living on the streets, in vehicles or encampments, or in shelters within the city. Individuals staying with family and friends are estimated to be another 2,500. Sadly, the current pandemic is exacerbating this crisis of homelessness.

This project seeks to engage the community - the homeless, residents, students, artists, business owners, nonprofits, and local government - in this layered topic through an open, thoughtful, and humanistic series of events co-curated by humanities advisor and CSUCI sociology faculty, Sunghee Nam.
