This month, we join the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness and many others in raising awareness and taking action to combat homelessness across the state. Homelessness is not just an urban issue—it affects both rural and urban communities, with the latest data showing a troubling rise in rural homelessness. In fact, Michigan’s 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count revealed that over 8,100 individuals experienced homelessness on a single night in January. We need your help‼️ Ending homelessness requires collective action. You can make a difference by volunteering, donating, advocating, or simply raising awareness in your community. 💬 Learn more about the scope of homelessness in Michigan, key trends, and how you can help make a lasting impact in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/ejwmuaDS #CommunityHousingNetwork #HomelessnessAwarenessMonth #NewBlogPost
