Homeless to Hopeful will celebrate ESNKY's 15-year anniversary. Attendees will hear directly from those impacted by the shelter’s work, and learn how they can best help the ever-growing number of people who don’t have a safe, stable and permanent place to sleep every night. The shelter is the region’s only low-barrier, harm reduction shelter - meaning ESNKY provides easy access to stay in their shelter by lowering barriers to entry, such as sobriety and committing to treatment. Their innovative, life-changing, life-saving services are needed even more so now that the homeless population continues to grow exponentially.
