Advocate to End Homelessness

Many people associate homelessness with negative stereotypes of skid rows and panhandlers, which promotes misinformation, apathy, and sometimes hostility.  This hampers effective policies that move people into housing and services.

Research has shown that efforts to raise the quality of life for homeless families saves public dollars, improves neighborhood safety and increases or stabilizes property values in most communities. Now you can help with efforts to end homelessness in your community.
