On March 12, the City of Redmond will host a community conversation on homelessness, and the public is invited to attend.

The meeting will be from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Bytes Café in Redmond City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St. This meeting is open to anyone who lives, works or owns property in Redmond. Individuals who plan to attend are asked to RSVP via email to Jldaub@redmond.gov, as soon as possible.

Homelessness is a growing issue of concern in Redmond, as it is throughout King County and across the nation. The city has scheduled this meeting to listen to both concerns and ideas from the community. City staff will be in attendance to listen to and record the comments that are shared. After the meeting, all comments will be reviewed and summarized with the goal of suggesting appropriate next steps. Individuals who plan to attend should come prepared to share thoughts regarding two key questions: What are your concerns about homelessness in Redmond? And what ideas or suggestions do you have for addressing those concerns?
