Bismarck Human Relations Committee to host public forum on homelessness

The Bismarck Human Relations Committee, in partnership with the City of Bismarck, is hosting a Community Conversation Forum on Homelessness on Tuesday, April 21. The free public event will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Dream Center, located at 1805 Park Ave.

The forum is designed to foster open dialogue among city leaders, local organizations and community members. Conversations will center on the adversities and systemic challenges faced by Bismarck residents who are currently experiencing or have previously experienced homelessness.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
