About the Training

The Homelessness crisis in King County continues to create more questions than answers. One of the most important questions for the Church is, “How can we love and serve our homeless neighbors?”  

This training covers four key areas: 

The extent and root causes of homelessness 

God’s heart for our homeless neighbors 

The Mission's approach 

How anyone can get involved  

Engaging Homelessness 101 provides foundational information and includes insights from experts, real-life stories from formerly homeless individuals that show that change is possible, and a Q&A time. We want each attendee to walk away with a deeper understanding of homelessness and actionable steps to take.
