Presentations, Q&A to focus on Walnut Creek Police Department Hop Team—Homeless Outreach Program
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Californer -- The Walnut Creek Homeless Task Force, established in 2013, is hosting a free public Community Forum on Homelessness in Walnut Creek on Tuesday, July 26, 6–8pm. A hybrid event, the forum will be held in the Walnut Creek City Council Chambers, City Hall, 1666 North Main Street, 1st Floor, Walnut Creek, and via Zoom for attendees who wish to participate online. Masks are required in council chambers for those who plan to attend in person.
