Executive Director Jennifer Erasime of the @MeadowsInst hit the nail on the head at this year’s State of Homelessness Address:

The All Neighbors Coalition has proven we have a system that can get people off the streets. We just need sustainable funding to scale our success. 📈

[HousingForwardNTX @HousingNTX]

We’re still feeling the energy from last week’s State of Homelessness Address. Thanks to all our partners, sponsors, supporters, elected leaders and staff who made this year’s event a success.

Because of you, we’re driving real change and making an impact in our community.
