The purpose of the dialogue is to stimulate a new role for the religious community in both developing creative shelter and housing solutions and in increasing the community s political will to end homelessness. The provision of shelter, however, is not the ultimate answer to homelessness. It is incumbent upon the religious community to hold up a better vision for our community, one in which the needs of the most vulnerable among us have the first claim upon our compassion, our priorities and our resources and not the last. It is our hope in convening this important conference that together we can develop strategies to make that vision a reality. E. on Capitol Hill in Seattle.
