Discover the Impact of Learning One Name
You can personally address the crisis of homelessness in our community!
How? It’s as simple as learning one name of a person living on the streets.
Because to know someone’s name is a first step toward creating lasting change.
One Hello Can Change a Life
OneName is a county-wide movement of everyday people who have taken a simple challenge: to learn the name of one person experiencing homelessness.
Because everyone has a name.
And every name has a story.
And to know their name is to:
- embrace them as a real person
- offer human connection
- help them feel known, seen, heard, and valued
Everyone Deserves to Be Seen and Known
Across San Diego county, more men and women—even children and seniors—are experiencing homelessness on our streets.
Every day, homelessness is becoming more visible.
Yet for someone with no home, they can feel more invisible than ever.
When you learn their name, you extend dignity and honor so they feel seen and known.
