Homelessness nonprofit Housing Matters is partnering with Santa Cruz Public Libraries for a series of free social-justice-oriented events in Watsonville, Santa Cruz and Capitola as part of a program called “Neighbors for Neighbors: At the Intersections.” 

The program will consist of group discussion and education with the goal of building community and spreading information about intersectionality, housing insecurity and homelessness. Attendees will join a circle with experts, those with lived experience of homelessness, and other members of the community.

The program will begin at the Watsonville Public Library, 275 Main St., on Monday, March 24, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It will then move to the Capitola Library at 2005 Wharf Rd. on Tuesday, April 22, at the same time. The third session will be at the Branciforte Library at 230 Gault St. on May 20 at the same time. Registration is available on the Housing Matters website.
