Homelessness
 
 

The Homelessness Solutions Committee has been busy acquainting themselves with community resources visiting Crosswalk (for teens) and Transitions (for women). Members  helped to initiate a community group called Spokane Housing for All.

Members tabled at Camp Hope to offer help to the occupants to register to vote, and it felt great to really make a difference!!
