Services were held on Thursday, December 19, 2024 to honor 65 people who passed away while living unsheltered.
People in our community will die without a home this year as they face the harsh conditions of living unsheltered. National Homeless Persons Memorial Day, which takes place annually on December 21st: the first day of winter and the longest night of the year, provides a way for us to memorialize their lives.
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.
If you know of an unsheltered Brevard County resident who passed away due to the effects of homelessness in 2025, please click here to add their name. Help us to remember them. Thank you.
