About Us

Membership:

We have created opportunities for anyone currently or formerly experiencing homelessness to jump right in and join our efforts!

Because "One Size Doesn't Fit All", we want to ensure that anyone with lived experience can participate within the boundaries they need for the success of their journey. 

Have you experienced homelessness? Join one of four pathways!

Steering Committee:

The Advisory Committee will be made up of one executive steering committee, Leadership Team, and 4 sub-committees (teams). The executive steering committee will be made up of no more than 9 members, including the Chairs.
