Registration for Bringing It Home 2024 is Closed
Register now for the 2024 Bringing It Home: Ending Homelessness in NC conference taking place June 4-5 at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh. For the first time since 2019, we will be back in person to learn, network, and collaborate with industry experts from across North Carolina and beyond.
Bringing It Home: Ending Homelessness in NC is a statewide conference dedicated to ensuring that homelessness in North Carolina is rare, brief, and one time only. The two-day conference will include more than a dozen presentations, panels, and workshops covering a broad range of topics related to homelessness. There will also be opportunities to network and share your own insights with fellow professionals and advocates.
Our Keynote Speaker
Marisol Bello (she/her) is the Executive Director of Housing Narrative Lab, a national communications and narrative research hub that lifts up the stories of people facing homelessness and housing insecurity and the systems that keep them from finding and keeping a home. Marisol has spent a career championing the stories and voices of people with lived experience, so they lead in creating the solutions that help every family thrive. First as a career journalist – most recently at USA TODAY – telling the stories of families working to make ends meet, and then in the nonprofit world, where she led narrative strategies to change hearts and minds about those living on the brink and move people to action. A first generation American from a Caribbean family full of colorful storytellers, Marisol is originally from the Bronx and yes, she is a Yankees fan. She’s still on the East Coast, where she lives with her family and a pandemic puppy named Chloe.
