Summer Solstice: 2019 National Healthcare for the Homeless Conference Photos by Deidre Young

The Summer Solstice (June 21) is a time to shine a

light on those who have overcome homelessness.

People without homes face incredible challenges to

survive, let alone thrive, yet their experience of

homelessness does not define them. Some

individuals find successes—whether large or small—

as they surmount barriers to becoming housed.

Summer Solstice Success Celebrations are joyful

observances of these victories for people who have

endured and overcome homelessness. Furthermore,

each ceremony reaffirms our knowledge that

affordable housing, adequate incomes,

comprehensive health care, and supportive services

can end homelessness not only for individuals, but

also for society.

NCAB would like to use this Summer Solstice to

honor the wonderful consumer subsidy recipients

who attended our 2019 National Conference to

share their wisdom and passion.

"This was my second time attending the

national conference. I always look forward

to meeting with other CAB members. I leave

the conference feeling invigorated, re-

energized and ready to bring information

back to Lincoln‘s Board of Directors and NC!

This year I learned a lot of about LGBTQ

youth. I really enjoyed it and am hoping to

share insights with our board."

-Frank Whitehead (Durham, North Carolina)

I felt the communal love and saw the sincerity of

fighting for those who are less fortunate as they

suffer the plight of homelessness.

-Frederick Lee Jackson (Houston, Texas)
