February 17: Protecting the rights of people living in OC emergency shelters Speaker: Eve Garrow, ACLU SoCal People turn to emergency shelters to escape the punishing experience of living outdoors. But too often, they find that shelters are not safe either, putting them in the impossible position of choosing between the hazards of shelter living and the dangers of the streets. Eve Garrow will discuss the findings from a year-long investigation of county-funded emergency shelters, along with recommendations to hold all shelters to high standards.
