The panel will be moderated by Kevin Lindamood, President and CEO of Health Care for the Homeless.

o This session will briefly assess and explain how current retributive criminal justice policies and practices continue to exacerbate institutional, systemic, and structural inequities (especially among individuals experiencing homelessness), expressed through the speakers’ own lenses
o Create awareness around the concept, practice, and principles of restorative justice (RJ) and address RJ benefits and limitations
o Push the boundaries of RJ beyond its current strategies and practices and to reimagine its application when considering structural and institutional racism as the crimes and offenses.

Community of Practice conversations are designed to equip local stakeholders with tools to address disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and build strategic alliances helpful in creating sustainable solutions for ending homelessness.
