From the Street to the Backyard - Rex Hohlbein - New York Encounter 2020

The New York Encounter

A face-to-face encounter with Rex Hohlbein, founder of Facing Homelessness Seattle and the BLOCK Project, moderated by Alberto Carignano, post-doctoral fellow, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Washington

As founder and creative director of Facing Homelessness, Rex is reshaping the sense of community in Seattle, WA with The BLOCK Project by providing shelter for the homeless in residential backyards. In giving up his successful architecture firm to dedicate himself to Facing Homelessness and The BLOCK Project, Rex builds more than tiny homes: he builds community, awareness, and the compassion to reach out and connect with one another, homeless or otherwise.

Join us for a conversation on homelessness to find out what is there for you.
