Community Dialogue on Homelessness
Rebecca Cannara
What happens when a community turns towards its homeless population rather than away from them? Rebecca Cannara records a community dialogue on homelessness, bringing lived experience and civic voices into the same space.
Rebecca Cannara facilitated a community dialogue focused on homelessness, a subject that tests the boundaries of civic conversation and often generates heat rather than understanding. The recording captures what becomes possible when structured dialogue replaces the polarised exchanges typical of public discourse on this issue, drawing participants into genuine exchange across difference. Community dialogues on homelessness must navigate competing narratives about cause, responsibility, and remedy, making the container for conversation as important as its content. This recording offers a window into how dialogue practice can hold that complexity at the community level.
