The Leadership Columbia Class of 2023 (LC23) is pleased to announce its partnership with Homeless No More. As part of the Leadership Columbia program, each class chooses a project that makes an impact in the community. This year’s class project is a comprehensive undertaking that includes physical enhancements to St. Lawrence Place, Homeless No More’s transitional shelter offering support services, life skills training and up to two years of housing for families experiencing homelessness.

Housing has become an important issue for Columbia. So often you hear about the obstacles major cities face when it comes to keeping their communities affordable and livable. Cities like our own are not exempt from this issue and the conversations we can have around the issue.
