Heading Home Plymouth is committed to raising awareness of homelessness and affordable housing issues in our communities.  We seek to accomplish this through educational events, partnering with other advocacy and faith agencies, and communicating with our legislative representatives. 

Our Goals:

• Plan educational and advocacy opportunities for Plymouth members that inform congregants about issues pertaining to poverty and homelessness.
• Partner with other faith communities and advocacy organizations to raise awareness of homelessness and effect change for the common good.
• Support effective strategies for coordinated advocacy around issues pertaining to poverty and homelessness.

 How You Can Help:

• Join the Heading Home Plymouth group!
• Write a letter to your legislative representatives urging them to support programs and funding that seek to end homelessness.
• Stop at the Take Five action tables in Guild Hall and take action!
• Attend Day on the Hill this spring and let your voice be heard.
• Attend Heading Home Plymouth trainings and events at Plymouth.
• Contact other Plymouth members and advocates to urge involvement in events and legislation to end homelessness and promote affordable housing.
