On Thursday, February 25, we're boarding buses for Annapolis, where we'll meet with legislators about—and testify and rally in support of—bills that support our work to prevent and end homelessness.
Specifically, we'll be advocating around the below issues and related bills. But first, a couple don't-miss highlights:
At 10 a.m., the House of Delegates will offer a special recognition of Health Care for the Homeless, marking our 30-year effort to prevent and end homelessness.

Please join us if you can. If you can't, please get behind the above issues and help us advance our advocacy agenda.
