Services to be held on Thursday, December 19, 2024 at locations and times below. 

People in your community will die without a home this year. While we must try to prevent the loss of every life, we also need to recognize the reality of the harsh conditions that individuals experiencing homelessness face as we memorialize them on National Homeless Persons Memorial Day, which takes place annually on December 21st: the first day of winter and the longest night of the year. 

Since 1990, hundreds of cities, representing more than 30 states and the District of Columbia, have participated in the National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. Let’s make this a year of increased awareness and advocacy by memorializing the lives that have been lost in Brevard County, as we work in partnership throughout the coming year to end homelessness.  

 In 2024, 65 people lost their lives while living unsheltered in Brevard County. These memorial services may be the only recognition of their lives they receive. Help us to remember them.
