Wonderful Feeling Being Face to Face Again from LindaLee

We did it!!! We had an All Chapter Metro wide meeting at Capitol Hill, for the first time since covid.

It was a wonderful feeling being face to face again. One speakers bureau member attending felt the "warm welcome and super community."

Together, Our Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts!

MICAH certainly brought the truth of that saying forward when we held our MICAH Metrowide Policy Breakfast on March 21st!

With over 60 people in the room and 40 online, we built and rebuilt connections to increase our power to achieve housing justice!
