Listen Later

Join our Anchor Communities Initiative Project Director Ashley Barnes-Cocke as they unveil our 2022 holiday surge campaign, Housed By the Holidays: 25 Days of Yes! We've dared our Cohort 1 Anchor Communities and partners to house 25 young people in 25 days. Ashley discusses how Housed By the Holidays is working to prevent and end youth and young adult homelessness by prompting our communities to experiment with new methods. What can we learn from this that will make it easier for every community to end unsheltered homelessness?
