Partnerships for Progress | Lynda Hopkins | TEDxSonomaCounty

Homelessness is not just an issue for major cities, but one that impacts small towns and all of our social support systems. We are all aware of the issue, but most people don't want to see solutions in their own communities. Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins shares how a public and private partnership addressed the issues of homelessness and affordable housing and yielded a successful model in the town of Sebastopol, California. The current chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors of Sonoma County, a county of half a million residents situated in the Northern Bay Area of California, Lynda also acts as the chair of the Climate Funding Committee for the Regional Climate Protection Authority and the chair of Sonoma Water. She also serves as a director on a variety of regional governance boards. Lynda is a passionate advocate for data-driven climate policy, wildfire resilience, coastal climate adaptation, affordable housing, social justice, and early childhood education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
