“Since we live in the wealthiest county in the state and one of the top in the nation, our community doesn’t see the homelessness that we have here, simply because it doesn’t look like the stereotypical homeless person on the streets,” said Nancy Ramsey, Family Promise of Hamilton County Executive Director. “We work with Hamilton County families that experiencing homelessness by providing shelter and wraparound services to help them overcome the barriers and obstacles that keep them from living in their own home.”

The event will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8 at Noblesville First United Methodist Church, 2051 Monument St., Noblesville.

According to Family Promise of Hamilton County, this 2.5-hour hands-on training will provide attendees the opportunity to experience a month in the life of families struggling to get by.
