MCCH is proud to serve as a commissioner for Montgomery County’s Interagency Commission on Homelessness (ICH), which acts on behalf of County residents experiencing homelessness and provides advice, counsel, and recommendations to the County Executive and County Council.

We invite you to join us at a Community Memorial Service hosted by the ICH to commemorate the lives of those in our community who died in 2016 and 2017 after having experienced homelessness.  

When: Wednesday, June 7, 10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.

Where: Executive Office Building/Circuit Court Plaza, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville

What: This service will be a time for family, friends, advocates, community leaders and service providers to come together to memorialize the valued lives of these most vulnerable residents.  The ICH will also officially kick-off the campaign to end chronic homelessness in Montgomery County by the end of 2017.

RSVP: Please register here and view the flyer for more details. The event is free, but your RSVP will facilitate planning. 

Parking: Paid parking is available in the garage at the Council Office Building, 100 Maryland Avenue, Rockville (entrance off East Jefferson Street). 

Last week, a dedicated group of volunteers from non-profits around the county took to the streets to find people experiencing homelessness who are unsheltered. Between 7 pm and 3 am, the volunteers spread throughout the county and completed over 200 surveys during the Spring Outreach Blitz. These surveys will:

• Help build the county's list of individuals who are currently living unsheltered so programs can be developed to end their homelessness.
• Help MCCH better understand how we can help address their needs.

Thanks to all who helped in collecting this vital information!
