On Tues., Jan. 14 from 8 to 10 AM, get with the Right to a Roof: Tackling
Homelessness, hosted by The Hill Events and The Hill at Long
View Gallery, 1234 9th St. NW, WDC 20001. A safe, affordable place to

better quality of life to greater economic opportunity. Still, last year, more
than half a million Americans were homeless or unsheltered on any given night.
While homelessness is the result of a complicated web of factors, support
services and affordable housing initiatives can make a difference. Sit
down for a series of conversations to address how policymakers, support
services and affordable housing initiatives can help struggling Americans
transition to housing security. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/999230290454316/.
