C4C Presents Let's Read Book Club: Golden Gates: The Housing Crisis and a Reckoning for the American Dream

  • 252 W Hood Ave Sisters, OR, 97759 USA (map)

Join C4C and Paulina Springs Books for a discussion of Golden Gates: The Housing Crisis and a Reckoning for the American Dream. Written by New York Times economic reporter Conor Dougherty, this “Time 100 Must-Read Book of 2020” uses San Francisco as a case study for examining America’s current housing crisis. The book offers insights and lessons applicable for communities across the country facing “punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of [home] ownership.”

Co-facilitated by Sarah McDougall (C4C board president) and Chris Laing (Co-founder of 100 Women Who Care – Sisters), this event is an opportunity for community members to examine and discuss the historical, economic, and social forces that have created our modern housing challenges. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of the complexities of this social issue, and ideas for how Sisters Country can learn from the experiences of other West Coast communities.

No RSVP required. Complimentary light refreshments will be provided. A caregiver reimbursement stipend is available for parents and caregivers in attendance. Interpretation services are available upon request. (Please email director@citizens4community.com at least one week before the event to request.) Please contact Kellen Klein, C4C Executive Director, with any questions – director@citizens4community.com.
