When our neighbours get detoured in life how can we as a community assist and support them to get back on track?

We would like to invite the community to a meeting of inspiration and brain storming to provide more insight of how other communities are addressing the issues poverty and homelessness and to empower individuals with opportunities to make poverty more manageable in society.
