"If we keep believing in the worthiness of this work, we will find a way out of this wilderness."

Earlier today, we wrapped an amazing opening plenary led by @RoofAbove CEO Liz Clasen-Kelly, a dedicated advocate for the unhoused population in North Carolina. Her insight into how we can end homelessness in Charlotte and across the country is beyond valuable. #EJC26
