The Office of the Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness would like to invite the public to a public conversation at the Deane Hill Recreation Center on Wednesday, June 23 from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. at 7400 Deane Hill Drive.

We'll be discussing the development of Knoxville and Knox County's Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. Dr. Roger Nooe, Professor (Emeritus) UT College of Social Work; Mike Dunthorn, Ten-Year Plan Project Manager; and Linda Rust, the Knox County Mayor's representative to the Homeless Coalition and the Ten-Year Plan Advisory Board will form a panel to present for the first half of the meeting. The second half will be reserved for questions and conversation related to the subject of the process by which the Ten-Year Plan was developed in our community.

This is the third in a series of similar public conversations.

We would like to keep these meetings concise, to respect the time of attendees.

We will offer them on a regular basis, and invite presenters who can speak to their areas of expertise and to the roles that they play in support of the TYP.

We'll open up the floor for questions and conversation on the specific issue being addressed, and we'll ask attendees for ideas about subjects they'd like for us to address in future public conversations.
