You're Invited: The Search for Home

Sometimes there's no better way to understand an experience that is far removed from your daily life than to hear a personal story. This month, the issue of homelessness comes center stage at the Minnesota Fringe Festival with zAmya's There's No Place Like Home and at The Search for Home, a training sponsored by several local housing and human service agencies. Consider attending one of these events to become more informed, equipped  to take action, and inspired to help end homelessness.
