CAPLAW TRAINING IN ARIZONA — NCCAA staff and board members were in Phoenix, Arizona, this week for the CAPLAW (Community Action Program Legal Services) Training Conference.

The conference brings together leaders of Community Action Agencies across the country to navigate the legal and governance challenges they face as they deliver essential services in their communities.

Wednesday's session included an inspiring film screening of “I Have a Name," a documentary that follows activist photographer, Jon Linton as he accesses the private lives of people living on the streets through the simple courtesy of asking their names. After seeing Linton's photography, Adam Bronfman felt inspired to produce a film that could capture the unhoused crisis in a new light.

You can learn more about the "I Have a Name" project at https://ihaveaname.org/.

Our team is grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect, and continue educating ourselves on how to best serve our communities.
