National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day December 21, 2025 The winter poses extreme hardship for our unhoused community members, including vulnerable youth who face heightened risks without stable shelter. At the same time, the spirit of the holiday season provides an opportunity for affirmation and renewal regarding our commitment to end homelessness. December 21st has been designated National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and is so recognized by cities nationwide. To safeguard and support our community is a year-round duty, and in this season of generosity and sharing, we are all encouraged to commit ourselves to promoting compassion and concern for one another, specifically including those who are unhoused. The city shares immense gratitude for the many organizations in the Boulder Community working to end homelessness and support unhoused people. TGHTR is one such organization committed to ending youth homelessness through a variety of programs that support young people in unstable situations through positive relationships, safe housing, behavioral health support, education and employment assistance, and critical life skills so they do not experience homelessness in the future. In remembering those who have died during or after enduring a period of homelessness, and with the city’s commitment to provide the housing and services that individuals need, the cause of ending homelessness is kept urgent. We, the City Council of the City of Boulder, Colorado, declare December 21, 2025, as

National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day
