Success Day
“The National Guidelines for

better. I enjoyed speaking at the
conference “

Summer Solstice: 2019 National Healthcare for the Homeless Conference Photos by Deidre Young
The Summer Solstice (June 21) is a time to shine a
light on those who have overcome homelessness.
People without homes face incredible challenges to
survive, let alone thrive, yet their experience of
homelessness does not define them. Some
individuals find successes—whether large or small—
as they surmount barriers to becoming housed.
Summer Solstice Success Celebrations are joyful
observances of these victories for people who have
endured and overcome homelessness. Furthermore,
each ceremony reaffirms our knowledge that
affordable housing, adequate incomes,
comprehensive health care, and supportive services
can end homelessness not only for individuals, but
also for society.
NCAB would like to use this Summer Solstice to
honor the wonderful consumer subsidy recipients
who attended our 2019 National Conference to
share their wisdom and passion.
"This was my second time attending the
national conference. I always look forward
to meeting with other CAB members. I leave
the conference feeling invigorated, re-
energized and ready to bring information
back to Lincoln‘s Board of Directors and NC!
This year I learned a lot of about LGBTQ
youth. I really enjoyed it and am hoping to
share insights with our board."
-Frank Whitehead (Durham, North Carolina)
I felt the communal love and saw the sincerity of
fighting for those who are less fortunate as they
suffer the plight of homelessness.
-Frederick Lee Jackson (Houston, Texas)
