Common Council Special Meeting: Gun Violence/Homelessness (in person)

Common Council Chairperson Sarah Salem is calling a special meeting of the Common Council to convene community members, local officials, and subject matter experts to seek solutions to the growing issues of gun violence, homelessness, and crime in the City of Poughkeepsie.

These issues have been on the rise over the past year, with three City of Poughkeepsie teens being killed, numerous shooting incidents across the city, as well as a steep increase in the number of folks who are considered unhoused as the community has been impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic.

All are welcome to comment and provide feedback.
