DESCRIPTION:On April 1, 2023, a compassionate community coalition — led by local 
 nonprofit providers, businesses and hundreds of community members— will 
 march and rally near downtown Santa Cruz to end homelessness. This is a 
 milestone event, the first of its kind in Santa Cruz County; please join us 
 as we recommit to addressing this crucial societal issue.\n\nAs a coalition 
 of service provider partners, we take action by supporting public policy 
 that strives to end homelessness, while further informing our community 
 about homelessness — challenging and dispelling the myths surrounding it. 
 We recognize that we share the goal of ending homelessness with many 
 individuals and organizations, and we aim to break down these silos 
 countywide, formalizing and publicizing our collaborative efforts to end 
 this crisis.\n\nThe March is an opportunity for Santa Cruz County neighbors 
 and friends to gather, connect and together give voice (and steps!) to end 
 homelessness. By marching together on April 1, we will unite our community 
 and show solidarity with our neighbors experiencing homelessness. The event 
 will also elevate our vision for the future, building momentum for 
 solutions to combat homelessness here in Santa Cruz County.\n\nWith a wider 
 community reach through this event, we will expand the conversation 
 surrounding homelessness, and continue the efforts to end homelessness in 
 our community. Show your commitment and support by connecting with us, and 
 marching shoulder-to-shoulder through the heart of Santa Cruz 
 County.\n\nThe timeline is as follows:\n\n* 10 am: Rally begins at the 
 corner of Cathcart and Cedar streets.\n* 10:30 - 11:30 am: March begins, 
 and will last approximately one hour. Attendees will march along Pacific 
 Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz.\n* 11:30 - 12 pm: March ends at the Santa 
 Cruz County building\n* 11:30 am - 2 pm: Festival grounds open at the Santa 
 Cruz County building, open to the public and those who participated in the 
 March. Attendees interested in participating in the festival at the County 
 Building can join in the festivities beginning at 11:30 am. The festival 
 will include live performances, a maker’s market, food trucks and a 
 resource fair showcasing our coalition partners.\n\nMark your calendars for 
 the March to End Homelessness on April 1, and invite your loved ones to 
 join in. \n\nFor further information on how to get involved, visit
