Summer Solstice Success Day “The National Guidelines for diabetes changed my life for the better. I enjoyed speaking at the conference “ DeeDee Blanchard Summer Solstice: 2019 National Healthcare for the Homeless Conference Photos by Deidre Young The Summer Solstice (June 21) is a time to shine a light on those who have overcome homelessness. People without homes face incredible challenges to survive, let alone thrive, yet their experience of homelessness does not define them. Some individuals find successes—whether large or small— as they surmount barriers to becoming housed. Summer Solstice Success Celebrations are joyful observances of these victories for people who have endured and overcome homelessness. Furthermore, each ceremony reaffirms our knowledge that affordable housing, adequate incomes, comprehensive health care, and supportive services can end homelessness not only for individuals, but also for society. NCAB would like to use this Summer Solstice to honor the wonderful consumer subsidy recipients who attended our 2019 National Conference to share their wisdom and passion.
