Come for a free dinner and conversation about how debt impacts our lives and what we can do to help improve debt policies!
Have you got something to say about being in debt? Are you, or are people you know, struggling to afford rent, or behind on bills?
Annie Harper, a researcher at the Yale School of Medicine's Program for Recovery and Community Health, will facilitate a conversation about how New Haven residents are burdened by debt and arrears. This is the start of a series of conversations and data collection activities aimed at i) understanding people's experiences of debt and arrears and ii) developing recommendations and advocating for city and state-level policy changes to help reduce the debt burden.
Dinner will be provided!
