HHH Hosts Homeless Advocate Sister Mary Scullion

Last Thursday, HHH members hosted Sister Mary Scullion for a lunch and discussion. Sister Mary founded Project H.O.M.E in Philadelphia, PA and is a staunch advocate for ending homelessness. She came as a guest of the Catholic Diocese to speak to the need of affordable housing in our community. During her lunch with HHH members, she encouraged us to be a prophetic voice and never grow to accept homelessness. To move out of homelessness is not one person's responsibility, she encouraged, but all of our responsibility. Thanks for your work in Philadelphia, Sister Mary!

HHH brought out 17 people to vote early at the main library on Wednesday 4/30. While we were proud of our largest turnout yet, we continue to be concerned about the voting rights of our homeless community. Two members who have a difficult time reading were refused help in registering and voting. We have contacted the board of election and have set up a meeting to share our concerns.
