Homelessness & Housing Outreach Team

The Nativity community has a “heart” for those experiencing homelessness, and we work to recognize and respond to the reality that many people are unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing We also work to increase awareness among our community on issues around homelessness and affordable housing as well as provide opportunities for Nativity members to get involved through service, advocacy, and education opportunities.
