The Longest Night
The Winter Solstice marks National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, a day when we remember our neighbors who have lost their lives because they have no place to call home. As we gather together on the longest night of the year, our community is in what we could consider a dark time, a very long night.
Celebrate Black Leaders in the Housing World
Since COTS focuses on housing, we wanted to share a few of the many Black trailblazers and leaders in the housing world. We honor the innovation, ingenuity, and resilience that Black people have contributed to our shared national culture and experience.
