HomeAid's Gina Cunningham Attends National Alliance to End Homelessness Annual Conference
Washington, DC – HomeAid America is proud to announce that Gina Cunningham, the Executive Director of HomeAid Orange County and HomeAid Los Angeles, recently attended the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) ) annual
conference in Washington, DC. This prestigious event brings together leading experts, advocates, and policymakers dedicated to finding innovative solutions to end homelessness in the United States.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness in the United States. They provide data, research, and policy analysis to advocate for effective solutions to end homelessness. The organization also offers training and technical assistance to help communities implement best practices and strategies to reduce homelessness. Their efforts focus on various aspects of homelessness, including prevention, rapid re-housing, and support for vulnerable populations such as veterans, families, and youth.
Gina’s participation in this year's conference highlights HomeAid's commitment to staying at the forefront of the national dialogue on homelessness. The conference provided a unique platform for Gina to engage with other thought leaders, share best practices, and gather insights that will be invaluable in advancing HomeAid’s mission.
“It was an honor to attend and represent HomeAid at the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference & Capitol Hill Day advocating for increased funding and the decriminalization of homelessness. It was incredibly inspirational and motivating to be with over 2,200 like-minded people who care about our unhoused neighbors.”
