National Homelessness Awareness Month

The month of November is National Homelessness Awareness Month. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Program Director, Priscilla Lentini, helped coordinate and attended a kickoff event at the State Capitol early in November. Event speakers shared statistics about homelessness in Wisconsin – specifically child homelessness along with shared experiences and ways to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.
