Remembering those we lost and working toward a future without #homelessness 🫶 During this year's #WorldHomelessDay we remembered the 3,756 individuals who passed away on the streets of #SanDiego over the past 12 years.

The crisis playing out on our streets is preventable. #HousingSolvesHomelessness

We toured the Bethel 1 project in Logan Heights, with all units going to formerly homeless veterans & seniors!🎉 Bethel AME San Diego is building it in partnership with Yes in God's Backyard (YIGBY), which partners with faith-based institutions to transform underutilized land into affordable housing.

Today is #SanDiegoGives' Day of Giving! You can support local organizations moving the needle on homelessness in our communities, including our friends at Adjoin, Interfaith Community Services, Community HousingWorks, and Lucky Duck Foundation >> ncphilanthropy.org/programs/san...

It's #mythbusting time💥. People experiencing #homelessness are stereotyped as ‘transient drifters’ seeking services in urban areas. FACT👉 People experiencing homelessness in California are Californians. 9 out of 10 lost their last housing in CA and 75% live in the same county as their last housing.

Our team was in Sacramento for the Housing CA Conference, which included an Advocacy Day for people with lived experience of homelessness. Thrilled that reps of our grantee partner the San Diego Homeless-Experienced Advocacy & Leadership (HEAL) Network made their voices heard at the State Capitol! 📣
