The Council for the Homeless (CFTH) in Vancouver, Washington, is set to host two free community education events this summer, focusing on financial literacy and the housing challenges faced by the aging population. These events are designed to equip residents with essential knowledge and foster community engagement.

Understanding Federal Tax Law Changes

The first event, titled ‘Navigating the New Federal Tax Law Changes & Your Finances,’ will take place on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at the Firstenburg Community Center. As federal tax laws continue to evolve, this session will provide a practical breakdown of the changes and their implications for individual and business financial planning. A local professional from Integrated Tax Services will lead the discussion, followed by a live Q&A session. Attendees will gain insights into how these legislative changes are affecting charitable and corporate giving.

Addressing Senior Housing Challenges

The second event, scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., will be held at the Vancouver Community Library. It features a screening of the documentary ‘No Place to Grow Old,’ which explores the harsh realities of aging without stable housing. A panel discussion with local community experts will follow the screening, addressing the urgent need for compassionate housing solutions in Clark County.

Sesany Fennie-Jones, CEO of CFTH, emphasized the importance of education in community building, stating, ‘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.’

Both events are free, but registration is required due to limited space. Interested participants can register online for the tax law event at this link and for the documentary screening at this link.
