Summary
Please join us for Homeless Persons' Memorial Day. This annual observation is a time of reflection as we honor the lives of our neighbors who passed away while experiencing homelessness or unstable housing.
Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day 2024
Join us on Wednesday, December 18th as we remember our fellow New Yorkers who passed away while unstably housed or homelessness in 2024.
Care For the Homeless and Urban Pathways host a Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day observance each winter solstice. The ceremony commemorates those who passed away that year without stable housing or due to the stressors of homelessness. Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day 2024 features music, reflections, eulogies, a reading of names of the neighbors we have lost and a meal.
