Join OASH as we read together between September 15 and October 26, 2024, one of three books that are salient on the topic of homelessness and housing. Oxford Reads Together: A Book Discussion on Homelessness and Housing aims to engage and mobilize the community through education and information sharing around the topic of homelessness and housing in general, and specifically, in the Oxford, Ohio area. Through these discussions, we hope to:
- increase citizens’ understanding of the root causes and complexities of homelessness
- facilitate open and insightful discussions about responding to homelessness in our community
- raise awareness and promote solutions around the issue of homelessness
- encourage participants to take action or get more involved in initiatives addressing homelessness
When ALL of our neighbors are healthy and thriving, we ALL thrive and are healthier!
Who: All Oxford area residents
What: An opportunity to learn more about homelessness and housing. Sign up to lead or participate in a group that will read and discuss one of the three book choices (click to see Amazon links for detailed descriptions):
