BEMA International with the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH). Recovery\Homelessness a State of Emergency

 

BEMA International membership

To support our members that are currently, and have experienced forms of recovery\homelessness at some point in their life.  The Black Emergency Managers Association International are joining with the National Coalition for the Homeless ( NCH, https://nationalhomeless.org/ ) to end and prevent homelessness while ensuring the immediate needs of those experiencing homelessness are met.

As a ‘state of emergency’

  • from the COVID-19 crisis where an increase of eviction is still ongoing,
  • from the impacts of climate change and disasters for displaced, migration, and transition

we play a key role in ensuring this basic need of individuals and families are met.  Members of the and our whole community.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.  We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.  In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.  Procrastination is still the thief of time.  Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity.  This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.”

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Where Are We Going From Here:  Chaos or Community’.
