Today is National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day

Last edited Sat Dec 21, 2013, 06:33 AM - Edit history (1)

Each year since 1990, on or near the first day of winter and the longest night of the year, National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) has sponsored National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day to bring attention to the tragedy of homelessness and to remember our homeless friends who have paid the ultimate price for our nation's failure to end homelessness.
