In the news: This week Mayor Brandon Scott convened a press conference to announce the purchase of the Holiday Inn Express and the Sleep Inn, to be operated as temporary shelters. President & CEO Kevin Lindamood attended, alongside Executive Director of Episcopal Housing Corporation Dan McCarthy and other city leaders. The facilities, just a block away from our Fallsway clinic, will ultimately be converted into permanent supportive housing and represent a step in the right direction for ending homelessness in Baltimore.

🩺❤️ At the end of June, over a dozen clients and their caregivers attended HEART Health and Wellness Day! The MDPCP team held giveaways and provided education about accessing cancer screenings, Medicare and HEART funds, and the basics of care at Health Care for the Homeless. Behavioral Health Therapist Deirdre Hoey, LCSW-C also led the room in a breathing and movement exercise.

📚 Last week over 30 volunteers from the Baltimore Women's Giving Circle donated and packed hundreds of books to be distributed at our clinic sites. Access to reading is essential for children's development, and donations like these are treasured by families experiencing homelessness. Thank you to the BWGC! Feat. Director of Development Christina Bauer, CFRE #literacy #homelessness #nonprofit

Today's #SCOTUS decision is inhumane and will make #homelessness worse across the nation. And the brunt of this ruling will fall on unhoused Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. Read our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/ghA3rzYu #JohnsonVGrantsPass

Despite the outcries of thousands of advocates, survivors, and homeless plaintiffs, today the Supreme Court sided with the city of Grants Pass and denied the humanity of people with no place to sleep. This decision has far-reaching consequences, but does not change what we already know: relying on jails and fines will never solve the homelessness crisis. Providing people with supportive housing will. If you're as outraged as we are, learn more about how to fight the criminalization of homelessness: follow the National Homelessness Law Center, the National Health Care for the Homeless Council, the National Alliance to End Homelessness, and the National Coalition for the Homeless.
