We are thrilled to announce that the Islamic Center of Southern California is partnering with the Mayor's Office of Public Engagement to host the next phase of Days of Compassion Civic University on February 26th, March 2nd, and March 5th. Please join us for this three-day program, designed to increase education, access, and engagement on the issue of homelessness in LA.

Speakers will include Daniel Tamm, Kirkpatrick, and Cally Hardy from the Mayor's Office; Scott Sale from SafeParkingLA; Tommy Newman from United Way of Greater Los Angeles; and Annie Vox from LA Voice.

Our program is as follows:

Day 1: Monday, February 26
6:30PM - 8:30PM

Homelessness 101 – This section of Civic U will provide an overview of homelessness in L.A., Measure HHH, Mayor Garcetti's Days of Compassion initiative, and our spiritual responsibility to help alleviate homelessness.


Day 2: Friday, March 2
10:00AM - 12:00PM

Site Visits - Section 2 will be a visit to a supportive housing venue. Get firsthand experience of how this fits in with the plan to end homelessness, and how to advocate for it.


Day 3: Monday, March 5
6:30PM - 8:30PM

Recap and Planning – In the final section of the DOC CIVIC U, the participants will recap and reflect in small workshops. To culminate, each congregation represented will create an action plan to implement within their faith organization. This strategy will be designed for the capacity of the congregation, focused on their geographic service area and based on an identified population and service model.
