Mel Watt Visits with Homeless Helping Homeless

As part of his annual "trading places" event, Mel Watt spent an hour in conversation with HHH members. Claudia spoke of struggles with her disability; Dawoud shared about confronting his own stigma of homelessness when he found himself without a place to live; Dirk challenged the congressman on his record of "action, action, action"; Rollon addressed the plight of homeless veterans and his own military service; and Mother Betty and Sister Dian shared of their struggles to keep their homeless ministry open.

The group had the opportunity to ask Representative Watt to continue to support the federal housing trust fund, as well lobby for his support of the local 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness.
