At this year's Funders Forum on Family and Youth Homelessness, we're excited to present our popular TableTalk Sessions, custom-designed to highlight issues that matter to you. Below, you'll find the names of the sessions you can participate in, along with facilitator-selected pre-reads to provide a foundation prior to the event. These pre-reads will be the basis of the conversations at the Funders Forum. Take a minute to study up so your TableTalk experience will involve a deeper dive into these crucial issues in Family and Youth Homelessness.
