There are a lot of people in this situation. It's a crisis.

One hundred and seventy five years ago we were slaves here in Mississippi. We came here as a slave with no rights, but today we come back to be part of the rebuilding of the state. How beautiful is that?

We emphasize placing people in safe and affordable housing as an immediate response to their crisis and then ensure that the necessary supports are in place to sustain their housing so they don't become homeless again.

about 30 people in crisis every year without a place to be.

We're in a real crisis situation where many times people are being turned away at the door.

But this isn't just about Kenya. This crisis is devastating the whole of the Horn of Africa. Millions of people are still suffering.
