Homeward Bound's 14th Annual Welcome Home Luncheon

At Homeward Bound, we are not committed to managing homelessness—we are committed to ending it. Because when someone has a home, everything changes. At this year’s luncheon, you’ll hear powerful stories of neighbors who now have access to opportunities, stability, and joy because they have a place to call home in their own community. Safe, stable, and affordable housing opens doors—to employment, to healing, to family connection, to possibility.

We are honored to welcome our keynote speaker, Jeff Olivet, former Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. A nationally recognized leader in homelessness and public health policy, Jeff brings more than 30 years of experience advancing solutions that connect housing, healthcare, and equity.

We are also pleased to introduce the future look of Homeward Bound at this year's Luncheon. It's an exciting new chapter for our organization, and we're thrilled to share it with our community. 

Please RSVP if you're interested in attending by Thursday, April 9, 2026. We'll follow up with more information about the event soon.
