The next City Council Members will inherit historically high levels of homelessness and overdose deaths. They will be responsible for making major investments into affordable housing, mental health care, and social services to replace the devastating role police and jails have long served in our city. Addressing these intersecting issues isn't just a city council imperative to do right by the most marginalized among us — these issues impact every resident of Albany. That's why we are hosting a City Council forum, to hear from candidates about how they'll work to reverse harmful policies, address decades of disinvestment, and build a Caring & Compassionate Albany. *All questions posed during the forum are from individuals living in Albany who are directly-impacted by housing insecurity, homelessness, substance use, and/or overdose. With the primary elections rapidly approaching on June 22nd, don't pass up this opportunity to join us and hear how these candidates will approach serving the City of Albany in a caring & compassionate manner to work toward ending homelessness and overdose!*
