New ideas for solving the Castro District's homelessness dynamic need to come from residents, merchants, and homeless; mutually exchanging experiences and insights. Under the auspices of CATCH (Creating Alternatives To Castro Homelessness) and the sponsorship of EVPA and DTNA, there has been organized a public educational panel on Castro District homelessness. This public discussion is an opportunity for all stakeholders in the Castro homelessness issue to hear from social workers, police officers, and homeless representatives.

It looks like it is going to happen. The negotiations are almost complete, the contracts to be signed soon. The Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association [http://www.pcfma.com] is organizing a farmers market that will be on Wednesdays on Noe Street from Market to Beaver street in front of Café Flore. They will present to ISCOTT [the organization that co-ordinates street closures in the City] soon, and the plan is for evenings from 4pm to 8pm.
