Community Tour of Housing Initiatives
To foster partnerships between SPHTM and organizations serving people experiencing homelessness (PEH), the Tulane Center for Public Service is sponsoring a tour of downtown organizations on the morning of Friday, May 3rd from 9 AM-12 PM.
The tour will start at the Tidewater Building with a light breakfast and meeting with staff from UNITY of Greater New Orleans, the lead organizations for our local Continuum of Care. Following that, the group will travel by van to visit Covenant House a shelter for women and children, then Ozanam Inn a shelter for women and men, and conclude at The Rebuild Center a drop-in day shelter offering showers and many other services. At each stop there is the opportunity to find out about the great work these organizations are doing, and discuss how to connect the talent of our school to support the needs of PEH.
Please email Michael Pizzolatto at mpizzola@tulane.edu to reserve your spot. If you can’t make this tour but are interested in this topic, please email Dr. Katherine Andrinopoulos at kandrino@tulane.edu.
