FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

 

Council for the Homeless Announces Summer Community Education Series

 

VANCOUVER, Wash. (May 27, 2026) — Council for the Homeless (CFTH) is proud to announce two upcoming community education events designed to empower local residents with financial knowledge and foster a deeper understanding of the housing challenges facing our aging population. Both events are free and open to the public. Registration is required.

 

Event 1: Navigating the New Federal Tax Law Changes & Your Finances

 

When: Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

 

Where: Firstenburg Community Center, 700 NE 136th Ave., Vancouver, WA 98684

 

As federal tax laws undergo significant shifts, understanding the ripple effects on a personal and community level is essential. This session features a practical breakdown from a trusted local professional at Integrated Tax Services. Attendees will learn how these legislative changes are reshaping charitable and corporate giving and what that means for individual and business financial planning. A live Q & A session will follow the presentation.

 

Event 2: Film Screening & Panel Discussion: “No Place to Grow Old”

 

When: Wednesday, August, 26, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

 

Where: Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St., Vancouver, WA 98660

 

Presented in partnership with the Fort Vancouver Regional Library, this event features a screening of the powerful documentary “No Place to Grow Old.” The film provides an intimate look at the heartbreaking realities of aging without stable housing. Following the screening, a panel of local community experts will lead a discussion on the urgent need for compassionate solutions in Clark County. This is a unique opportunity for residents to connect and engage with one of the most pressing social issues of our time.

 

“Education is foundational to a thriving community,” says Sesany Fennie-Jones, chief executive officer at Council for the Homeless. “Whether we’re unpacking the complexities of tax law or centering the very real human experiences behind the housing crisis, these events are designed to bring neighbors together to build understanding, create connection, and inspire meaningful action.”

Admission for both events is free, but space is limited. Members of the public are encouraged to reserve their spot early by visiting:
