Today is World Homeless Day, a moment to raise awareness and reflect on the urgent need to support those without a safe and stable place to call home. Having worked in the homelessness sector for nearly seven years, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges and vulnerabilities that so many people face daily. Every story is unique, but the common thread is the impact of compassion, support, and action in helping individuals regain stability and dignity. At Emmaus Merseyside we are committed to providing not just shelter, but also the resources and guidance needed for long-term recovery and reintegration. However, homelessness is a community issue, and we need more than just organizations working in isolation — we need everyone to engage, whether through awareness, donations, volunteering, or simply offering a listening ear. Today, let’s recognize the humanity of those who are too often overlooked, and commit to creating pathways to a more secure future for all. Together, we can make a difference, as nobody chooses homelessness. #WorldHomelessDay #EndHomelessness #SupportLocalCharities #CommunityAction #Merseyside

??Myth: Homelessness is a Choice ??Reality: No one chooses to be homeless. Factors like job loss, lack of affordable housing, and unexpected crises often force people into homelessness. At Homeless ID Project, we understand that homelessness is a complex issue, not a personal choice. That's why we're committed to providing the essential identification documents needed to regain stability, secure housing, find employment, and rebuild lives. Everyone deserves a second chance, and sometimes, that second chance starts with something as simple as an ID. By helping people get the identification they need, we're empowering them to take the first step toward a brighter future. Want to help us make a difference? Your donations directly support our mission to end homelessness by providing critical IDs and resources. Together, we can make sure that no one is left without the tools they need to rebuild their life. ?? Donate today: HIDP.org and click on 'Donate or text HIDP to 44321. Every dollar counts in the fight to end homelessness. ?????? #EndHomelessness #HomelessIDProject #MakeADifference #SupportChange #DonateNow

?? Today is World Homeless Day: A Call to Action ?? On October 10th, let’s take a moment to raise awareness and extend compassion to the millions of people experiencing homelessness across the globe. Homelessness is not just a global issue—it affects our local communities in profound ways.? Each one of us can make a difference, even with small actions. Here are five ideas to help your local unhoused population: 1. Volunteer your time: Whether at a shelter, food bank, or outreach organization, dedicating your time can make a huge impact.

Support initiatives that push for more housing development and resources for those facing housing insecurity. 4. Share your expertise: If you have skills in healthcare, law, counseling, or employment services, consider offering your professional expertise to support individuals who are unhoused, helping them regain stability. 5.

#Homelessness is a big topic of conversation in the greater Seattle area—and one that can be loaded with opinion and emotion. If you—like us here at Campion—believe that we need honest and empathetic conversation about #housing and homelessness, then we encourage you “donate your small talk” this holiday season. Donate Your Small Talk offers a way to educate and inspire empathy with friends/family/coworkers who are frustrated and sharing their frustration with you. This new campaign from We Are In will help you talk about homelessness in a clear, compassionate, and sensible way. For example: Your Uncle: All those homeless people downtown are why Seattle’s crime rates are so bad. It’s not safe there anymore. You: I hear your about safety. It’s a big concern for me, too. People who are homeless, though, are more likely to be the targets of crime, rather than the perpetrators. Crime is a real problem, but people experiencing homelessness is a separate issue. Homelessness is a serious challenge. We need to talk about it. Please repost to donate *your* small talk and tag three friends to help spread the word! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gR6jdCBR

Tonight is no ordinary night ?? And I'm asking for your support. At 6pm, roughly 1,000 people will gather at the mighty MCG. Not for a game, but for a cause. That cause is youth homelessness. And those 1,000 people will SLEEP under the iconic lights in support of the growing number of young people without a safe place to call home. The need has never been more urgent. Every night, over 7,600 young Victorians aged 12-24 experience homelessness. But you wouldn't even know it. That's because couch surfing is the most common form of homelessness experienced by young people. It happens behind closed doors, so you don't see it. This keeps youth homelessness invisible. Melbourne City Mission (MCM) is on the frontline of this crisis, helping young people break the cycle of homelessness -- once and for all. That's why tonight is so important. With the funds raised from Sleep At The 'G, MCM will build safe, supportive homes especially for young people with healing-oriented care and support. And the more we raise, the more they can build. So far, they've raised almost $600,000. But I think we can get to $1M. So if you can, please donate to this worthy cause ?? https://bit.ly/3ymy03A Together, we can help break the cycle. We have the power to end youth homelessness. #MCMSleepAtTheG #YouthHomelessness #ThePowerOfCommunity #MelbourneCityMission
