Welcome Home Luncheon

“A Home Changes Everything”

At Homeward Bound, we are not committed to managing homelessness—we are committed to ending it.

Because when someone has a home, everything changes.

At this year’s Welcome Home Luncheon, you’ll hear powerful stories of neighbors who now have access to opportunities, stability, and joy because they have a place to call home in their own community.

Safe, stable, and affordable housing opens doors—to employment, to healing, to family connection, to possibility.

We are honored to welcome our keynote speaker, Jeff Olivet, former Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness.

A nationally recognized leader in homelessness and public health policy, Jeff brings more than 30 years of experience advancing solutions that connect housing, healthcare, and equity.

Please RSVP if you’re interested in attending by Thursday, April 9, 2026.

We’ll follow up with more information about the event soon.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Andrew Canan, our Donor Relations Specialist, at andrew@homewardboundwnc.org or (828) – 747-9409.
