Join us this fall for our 2nd annual Coalition Book Club series, where we’ll be reading Making Room by Carl Siciliano, the founder of the Ali Forney Center. Together, we’ll explore LGBTQIA+ homelessness through the eyes of those who have lived it, deepening our understanding of the challenges they face.
Over the course of three sessions, we’ll discuss the powerful themes in Making Room and reflect on what it means to humanize LGBTQIA+ homelessness. Whether you’re reading for the first time or revisiting this impactful book, we welcome all participants to share, learn, and grow with us.
Special Event: On our final meeting, November 18, we’re excited to welcome author Carl Siciliano to join us for an exclusive Q&A session! This meeting also serves as the kickoff to Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, where we’ll reflect on the importance of compassionate, inclusive support for LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing homelessness.
