A Wider Circle is driven every day by our vision of a future without poverty. Since our inception, we have committed to innovating, collaborating, and acting with urgency until we meet this goal. In that vein, we are proud to announce that we have joined The Way Home Campaign as part of our new Advocacy Program.
Each day through the services we provide, we hear from our neighbors about how a lack of affordable housing makes it nearly impossible to escape the grasp of poverty. For those who experienced homelessness, it was often a long unsafe journey and one with little to no support. Housing is a cornerstone to stability for individuals and for communities - we need to ensure everyone has access to affordable housing, that we provide support to avert evictions, and that if someone finds themselves in crisis we provide immediate housing support to avoid experiencing homelessness.
The Way Home Campaign is bringing together hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals - both with lived experience and allies - to advocate for change. To all of those who are already a part of this work, our A Wider Circle community is excited to lift our voices with yours. For anyone who has not joined or been active with the campaign as of yet, we welcome your important voice.
