Our Director of Homeless System Coordination, Olyvia, had the opportunity to speak this week at Liberty University’s First Annual Public Health Panel! Olyvia shared how applying public health principles to homelessness response can create stronger, healthier communities. Her presentation explored the intersection of public health and homeless response systems—highlighting how collaboration between public health organizations and homeless service providers can strengthen partnerships, improve outcomes, and prevent adverse health impacts for our unhoused neighbors. At Miriam’s House, we believe that stable housing is the foundation of good health. We’re grateful for opportunities like this to connect with future public health leaders, share our mission, and inspire new approaches to ending homelessness through collaboration and compassion.
