Homelessness in Montgomery County: How can we help?

On any given day, over 800 people in Montgomery County experience homelessness, and out of that number, nearly 200 are children. Every person who experiences homelessness has a unique story.

At Change Montgomery County, we strive to provide real solutions to end homelessness in the County by increasing awareness, enabling resources, and connecting people.

Ryan Miner, host of A Miner Detail brought to you by Change Montgomery County, will address how citizens of Montgomery County can help those experiencing homelessness.  Ryan and his guests will discuss the 100,00 homes initiative, the recent point-in-time county, and local resources for safe living conditions. 

Special guests include: 

– George Leventhal, Montgomery County Council President 

– Heather Sheridan, Director of Homeless Services with Maryland’s Interagency Council of Homelessness  

– Marta Bohorquez, a Montgomery County advocate for the homeless

– Y. Maria Martinez, CEO of Respira Medical 

Join us this Wednesday, March 18 at 9:00 p.m. on the Change Montgomery County radio network for a new episode of A Miner Detail.
