• speaking to groups throughout the City

• creating and distributing educational materials

• sharing information about available resources

• shifting community perceptions of those who are homeless

• supporting the communication needs of other VSSTF subcommittees

• remaining alert for opportunities to educate members of the VSSTF on events and issues that may impact the "10-Year Strategy to End Homelessness for Ventura."
