[Michlib-l] "Home is Essential" Homelessness Awareness Month

[Mary Jo Vortkamp]

Hi Team,

One last post - the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness published their Homeless Awareness Month Toolkit and Resources.  https://mihomeless.org/index.php/empower/#HAM

It includes some suggested activities and resources.  Remember this event happens every year, so it's not too late to plan for next year!

They also have a speaker's bureau.

Take care!

PS National Runaway Safeline has officially published this year's program too: https://www.1800runaway.org/nrpm/

The History of National Runaway Prevention Month: In October 2002, President Bush hosted the landmark White House Conference on Exploited and Runaway Children, where leaders from across the country convened to discuss issues and challenges related to the runaway and homeless youth crisis.
