Members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors have been invited to participate in a Poverty and Services Simulation hosted by the No Wrong Door Initiative on May 21.

The event aims to give participants insight into the challenges faced by individuals living in poverty and navigating local support services. By simulating real-life scenarios, organizers hope attendees will gain a deeper understanding of barriers within the community.

The simulation is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Harbour View Wedding & Event Venue, located at 13200 Marina Way in Woodbridge, Virginia. The public notice states that no votes will be taken during this event and that official county business will not be conducted.

According to organizers, simulations like these are designed to foster empathy among community leaders and inform future policy discussions regarding social services. While attendance includes members of the Board of County Supervisors, their participation is strictly educational.

No further details about the agenda or speakers were provided in the announcement.
