Discover the Impact of Learning One Name
Everyone Deserves to Be Seen
Our county is seeing more men and women, even children and seniors, 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.

OneName is a county-wide movement of everyday people who have taken a simple challenge: to learn the name of one person experiencing homelessness.

And to know their name is to:
- embrace them as a real person
- offer human connection
- help them feel known, seen, heard, and valued
