Often when policies or decisions are made on behalf of the homeless community, homeless voices are left out of the process. Often when stories about homelessness are written in local newspapers homeless voices are ignored or neglected.

With the belief that homeless folks should have a voice in decisions and policies that impact their lives, the Coalition On Homeless is establishing a Speakers Bureau to give voice to those experiencing homelessness.

The goal of the Speakers Bureau is to narrow the gap between talking about something and fully understanding it. One of the best ways people can gain understanding of what it’s like to experience something they have never been through is to hear from someone who has had that experience talk about it. The Homeless Speakers Bureau offers that opportunity.

Join us on Thursday, July 26th, 6:00pm. At the Old First Presbyterian Church.
