NATIONAL HOMELESS PERSONS' MEMORIAL DAY 2022

The first day of winter. The longest night of the year. People in your community will die without a home this year. While we understand the importance of every life, we recognize the reality of conditions that individuals and families experiencing homelessness face. National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day is the day to remember those who have died during the year while unhoused, unsheltered, living in shelters, transitional housing, or other uninhabitable places and spaces, and without a place to call home.
Over the past years, hundreds of cities representing more than thirty States and the District of Columbia have participated in the National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. Let’s make this a year of increased awareness and advocacy by organizing in our communities to memorialize the lives that have been lost across the nation as we work throughout the coming year to end homelessness and the need for such a day.
