Hello!
As promised I would inform ya’ll about what I have learned from the conference. A lot of services that are offered depend on a lot of requirements that not everyone qualifies for. This makes finding housing a barrier along with some agencies picking people as the “star child” or favorite and forgetting about others who are also deserving of help! Along with a lot of policies that are not Trans inclusive, which could be lifesaving.
These past two weeks I have called business about becoming sponsors for our annual sleepout event happening November 17th. I have also attended a meeting with social work students at Salisbury University to discuss the youth-led town hall on youth homelessness on October 21st. I am excited about the turnout!
Stay tuned.
I’ll have more next week.
