HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH 2024
Partner Highlights: A Homelessness Awareness Month Series, November 2024
This Homelessness Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting some of the often-unseen partners who help prevent and address homelessness in our community. While shelters and housing agencies may come to mind first, creating sustainable solutions to homelessness requires a broad network of support. From healthcare providers and schools to businesses, faith groups, and community centers, each partner brings unique resources that help individuals and families achieve stability.
The Greater Green Bay Blueprint to Prevent and End Homelessness highlights that “Every Greater Green Bay stakeholder has the potential to bring solutions, expertise, and energy to the work to prevent and end homelessness….The insight, wisdom, perspective, and connections different members of a community bring creates the momentum, new solutions, power, and push needed to respond to the complex, multi-faceted community issue that is homelessness and housing instability.“
Join us in recognizing the vital contributions of a few of our local non-traditional allies and celebrating the impact we make together.
