🧡 November is Homelessness Awareness Month 🧡

Every person deserves a safe place to call home. This month, we stand in solidarity with those experiencing homelessness in Union County and beyond. Homelessness is not just a housing issue; it’s a public health and mental health issue, too.
At the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Union County, we are committed to supporting individuals and families facing housing insecurity by connecting them with mental health services, substance use recovery resources, and community partners who care.

✨ Let’s raise awareness.
✨ Let’s reduce stigma.
✨ Let’s work together to build a community where everyone has a place to belong.

📢 Join us this month in learning, sharing, and advocating for solutions to end homelessness.
