On World Humanitarian Day, we recognize humanitarian workers, volunteers, organizations, and community leaders around the world who support people through crisis, displacement, conflict, disaster, and hardship.
Their work reminds us of the importance of dignity, safety, compassion, and community.
We also want to recognize the role that housing organizations and homelessness-serving partners play in that broader effort. Safe, stable, and affordable housing is a critical foundation for individual and community wellbeing, and we are grateful to the people across our sector working every day to help make that possible.
Today, we honour humanitarian efforts in all their forms, both globally and here at home.
