Join the Campaign to End Child Homelessness and the Strengthening At-Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children Initiative for a webinar on Advocacy 101: Advocating for Homeless Children and Families.
During the webinar, Dr. Ellen Bassuk, Founder and President of The National Center on Family Homelessness will discuss the importance of advocacy in ending child and family homelessness. Based on information in our recently released brief–Advocating to End Child and Family Homelessness: Five Easy Steps–from Strengthening At Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children, an Initiative of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, and an advocacy document by the Campaign, we will describe advocacy strategies and lay out action steps. This webinar will train attendees on how to interact with policymakers at any level of government to achieve specific goals.
Attendees will hear examples of effective advocacy at the state level, including the work of the Mississippi Campaign to End Child Homelessness and its partners to create a state Interagency Council on Homelessness. Additionally, we will discuss national opportunities for those on the ground to advocate for ending child and family homelessness.
