Unhoused: Addressing Homelessness in California - Secretary Ben Carson

Keynote Address: Secretary Ben Carson, US Department of Housing and Urban Development Access to safe, affordable housing is critical to the economic stability of individuals and families, as well as the region as a whole; however, increasing median rents and stagnant incomes have led to a widespread housing crisis across many urban cities across the United States. This summit will bring together leading academics, politicians, and policy practitioners to examine homelessness in California and explores short and long term solutions to helping and housing the state’s most vulnerable population. This event is being hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chairman of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute, and Gary Painter, Director of the USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation and is supported by the Southern California Leadership Council, Govern For California, and Downtown Women's Center. About the USC Schwarzenegger Institute: The USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy is committed to advancing post-partisanship, where leaders put people over political parties and work together to find the best ideas and solutions to benefit the people they serve. The Institute seeks to influence public policy and public debate in finding solutions to the serious challenges we face. Founded in 2012 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Institute carries on his belief to govern with the interest of the people, not the political party, in mind. The Institute works to ensure that the ways of solving problems developed from his time in office will continue to benefit the people of California, and around the world. About the USC Sol Price Center for Social Innovation: In November 2011, Price Philanthropies made an extraordinary $50 million gift to the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy to honor the life and legacy of Sol Price, founder of Price Club. The naming gift also launched the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation. The mission of the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation is to develop ideas and illuminate strategies to improve the quality of life for people in low-income urban communities. Together with the Price School’s academic rigor and practice-based expertise, the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation works to advance new models of equity and opportunity for low-income children and families, as well as advance the field of social innovation through scholarship and rigorous academic inquiry.
