The central goal of this task force is to shed a regional spotlight on the issue of homelessness. We will use our expertise in teaching, research, and student engagement to benefit homeless people and service providers throughout southeastern Massachusetts. We will also work with local government and business leaders to develop and support policies that can end homelessness permanently. By involving our students in this most pressing and poignant issue, we will also develop a new group of scholars interested in pursuing housing and equality for all citizens.
This is a unique opportunity for Bridgewater State College to bring its intellectual power to bear in addressing a regional social justice issue.
