Forrest Alton moderates the City of Charleston Mayoral Candidate Forum

One80 Place, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating homelessness and proactively addressing its root causes, recently orchestrated an enlightening and constructive forum. This event served as a platform for the Mayoral candidates of the City of Charleston to engage in thoughtful discourse, sharing their insights and positions on homelessness and the availability of affordable housing in Charleston.

The event was moderated by Forrest Alton, the driving force behind 1000 Feathers. His navigation ensured the discussion remained focused, informative, and fair.

This forum was an invaluable opportunity for these candidates to connect with the Charleston community, showcase their commitment to addressing homelessness and housing issues, and sketch out their plans for a brighter future. In the spirit of unity, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all the candidates for engaging in this critical dialogue.
