The journal is encouraging policy makers, activists, community and faith-based service providers, scholars and others to contribute as we advance community engaged and community based participatory research.

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness count found over 582,400 homeless people in America and the Biden Administration says it’s aiming to reduce that number 25 percent by 2025. [See the “All IN” illustration below]. There is a longstanding crisis that has birthed a forceful movement occurring across this country, one that we at ENGAGE!  find to be of critical cultural, social, political, and economic importance. This movement seeks to end homelessness, which effects individuals and groups ranging from veterans;  families with children; non-profits and their services; federal and local municipalities; businesses and their customers – every corner of this country is impacted by the trauma of homelessness. Housing and homelessness are complicated by racism and sexism, homophobia, privilege and poverty.  The National Coalition for the Homeless is a network of people who are currently experiencing or who have experienced homelessness working to end and prevent homelessness. The Coalition is leading force in the movement Homepage – NCH (nationalhomeless.org) . Its single mission: To end and prevent homelessness.  Seattle group works to end homelessness by approaching entire camps : NPR
