volunteer roadmap

At Housing Matters, we believe an educated and empowered community can affect BIG change. This is why continuing education is a key component of our volunteer program. We want to empower our volunteers with the knowledge that they need to raise the bar in conversations about homelessness with friends and family, to help shift the status quo.
