Stories of Hope featuring Matthew Desmond

Join us for an inspiring evening at Stephen Center’s annual Stories of Hope event, a powerful night dedicated to illuminating the realities of homelessness and celebrating the resilience of the individuals and families we serve.

This year, we are honored to welcome Pulitzer Prize–winning author Matthew Desmond, whose groundbreaking work has reshaped the national conversation around poverty and housing in America. Through compelling storytelling and thoughtful dialogue, the evening will explore the complex challenges facing our community and the solutions that begin with compassion, dignity, and partnership.

Stories of Hope brings together business leaders, community advocates, and supporters who believe that stable housing changes everything. Guests will enjoy a meaningful program, opportunities to connect with fellow changemakers, and the chance to directly support Stephen Center’s shelter, housing, and recovery programs.

Your attendance or sponsorship makes a tangible impact. Every dollar raised helps individuals and families move from crisis to stability and toward long-term independence.

We invite you to join us in being part of the solution. Together, we can ensure more neighbors experience safety, stability, and hope.

Sponsorship opportunities are available now.
