TJCC Met with a group of homeless individuals
and heard their stories.
Then, we worked in a furniture bank that helps provide furniture to
people moving from homelessness into homes.
March 5TJCC learned advocacy techniques to speak out about the lack of affordable housing in Massachusetts. We met with Charles Glick, lobbyist for the Jewish Community Relations Council, Sister Linda Bessom from the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, Ellen Feingold from CHAPA, and Brad Korizinsky from the JCRC
We learned a lot about letter-writing, petitioning and lobbying. click on images for a larger view
