Community Meeting on Moving Hope Village

On Monday, March 18^th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Gardner Community Center (520 W. Virginia Street), there will be a public meeting to receive input on the moving of San Jose Hope Village to a lot at the corner of Willow St. and Lelong St. The meeting is being sponsored by Council member Dev Davis and the city of San José’s Housing Department.

It is important to have a large number of people in support of this, as these meetings can become hostile due to people opposed to any services for housing and the homeless.

Please support Hope Village by advertising this information through as many channels as possible. Please use email and phone calls to encourage people to come. Specifically:

1. Share this information with your friends.
2. Direct your friends to the San Jose Hope Village Facebook page, which will provide updates and reminders.
3. Ask organizations friendly to this cause to publicize the event.
4. Send reminders to your friends on Sunday, March 17^th and a final reminder on the morning of March 18^th.
5. Reach out to people in any way that you can.
6. Attend the meeting on March 19^th and bring small signs showing support for Hope Village.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on the 18th!
