Homeless Persons' Memorial Day

Communities across the country recognize the Winter Solstice — the first day of winter, the longest night of the year — to remember those who have died while homeless, or those who had a history of homelessness. The Howard County Coalition to End Homelessness will host a gathering to honor those lives lost in 2024.
