What can I do?
- Learn about the causes of homelessness.
- Support local projects that provide homes for people who need them.
- Write a letter to the elected officials that represent your area. Personal letters that describe how homelessness affects you and your community are generally more effective than form letters. Letters to federal MPs can be sent free of charge.
