2024 National Homeless Persons Memorial Day

National Homeless Persons’ Remembrance Day takes place on the first day of winter, and remembers those in the homeless community who have died the previous year. The day reminds us to honor them and remember the life they lived. Homelessness is a year-round concern for many. Winter increases the anxiety associated with finding shelter. During the holidays, the media focus their attention on raising awareness and improving opportunities for those experiencing homelessness.
