Homeward Bound has been using the housing first model since 2006 to move people out of homelessness. Since then, Homeward Bound has housed over 2,230 individuals with an 89% retention rate.
Do you see people who are homeless in our community? Do you really understand their challenges? COVID-19 has had a devastating impact, possibly increasing homelessness by as much as 40% and making it more critical than ever for us to see, hear, and respond to this growing crisis.
Learn about Homeward Bound’s efforts to end this crisis during our FREE virtual Event to End Homelessness on May 12th at noon. The program will include updates from Executive Director Meredith Switzer, a film by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Katie Damien, a performance by spoken word poet Nonnie Egbuna, a song by local artist and Jubilee! World Beat Band member Paula Hanke, and more.
This free event will be live-streamed on Homeward Bound’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

Call it “musical comedy heaven” (Rolling Stone). Call it “the most uproarious new musical in years!” (The Hollywood Reporter). Call it Tootsie!
This laugh-out-loud love letter to the theater tells the story of Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor who struggles to find work until one show-stopping act of desperation lands him the role of a lifetime. Featuring a hilarious Tony®-winning book by Robert Horn and an outrageously clever score by 2018 Tony winner David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), this New York Times Critic’s Pick is “a joyful delight” (The Washington Post) that’s “so packed with punchlines, it should be called a jokebox musical!” (Bloomberg). “In these turbulent times, when the world seems out of balance, we need a place to let the good times roll,” raves Rolling Stone. “Tootsie is it!”
