Homelessness Awareness Month held during the month of November encourages participation with HomeAid.
This is a perfect time to bring greater awareness to the needs of local communities, as well as provide a way to give back and become involved with HomeAid. You only need energy and imagination to develop your own community engagement program and bring attention to our ongoing battle to end homelessness.
The need for help is as great as ever.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States. Their annual State of Homelessness report provides data and metrics to communicate the problem of homelessness in America. “State and local homelessness systems collect data about homelessness in their communities and report this data to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Rates of homelessness per 10,000 people help demonstrate which states have the most severe challenges.”
