The conversation around homelessness continued today with Kevin Nye, author and homeless advocate from Minneapolis. We’re so grateful for the conversations and challenges Kevin shared with us as we continue to grow in our understanding of what life-giving relationships with our unhoused neighbors looks like and how we can partner with them for a more flourishing community for all. #seewhatlovecando #jcmo

This weekend, over 100 congregations are saying “We see you” to their unhoused neighbors.

For our first ever Weekend to End Homelessness, we asked congregations all over the country to set aside any part of their weekend to acknowledge the reality of homelessness in their community and to commit to taking a faithful next step. This has amounted to:

🏘️More than 100 congregations
🌎 28 different states represented
⛪ Over 26 distinct denominations participating

And this is only the beginning. NFCEH is preparing a year’s worth of engagement, education, advocacy, and solidarity as we continue to grow and challenge people and communities of faith.

We rise up individually, but we move forward together.

We’re the National Faith Coalition to End Homelessness, and we affirm the dignity and inherent value of all people, unhoused and housed, as created in the image of God and called beloved.

We reject the notion that those who experience homelessness need to undergo a transformation of behavior, spirituality, or treatment to be worthy of housing, care, or participation in community.

We believe that everyone deserves a safe place to sleep, surrounded by supportive community and resources, and all the things that make us at home.

Beloved doesn’t come with a checklist.

On October 10-11, 2026, congregations across the country are setting aside a Weekend to End Homelessness to consider how God invites everyone home — and what it could look like for the church to do the same.

Register your congregation at the link in bio and we’ll send the toolkit: liturgy, sermon points, music, children’s curriculum, and connections to the people already doing this work near you.

Does your church’s help come with conditions?

“Rainmakers are all of us, the people who really make it happen. The people who turn possibility into action.”

The high-energy and irresistible vibe from this years Stand Up For Youth Breakfast cannot be overstated. From the Twin Cities influence in the room, to the African drums, the panel starring Ms. Shennika, Edwin, and Sincere, Clayton’s award, to Young Charlotte winning this years inaugural Young Changemakers Award - ITS ALL A VIBE! ⭐️🙌🏽⭐️🫶⭐️🙌🏽⭐️🫶⭐️.

Thanks to every rainmaker and guest who joined us. Together, we raised a lot of money…and still counting, to make sure no young people walk through life alone.

None of this happens without rainmakers like you all.

Too often homeless services (especially faith-based ones) spend all their time and energy trying to sort out who is worthy of housing or support.

We don’t believe in barometers of worthiness. We are all healing from something, and healing follows love—not the other way around.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this work feels like the culmination of everything I’ve done up to this point.

I’m Kevin Nye. I spent the better part of six years thinking about why faith communities pour so much real love into homelessness while staying disconnected from the systems most likely to end it.

The hard truth is that churches are doing a lot of individual work, but they aren’t connected in helping the work go further.

The National Faith Coalition to End Homelessness formed out of a desire to change that.

Here’s where it stands. On October 10-11, congregations across the country are invited to participate—in any small, medium, or big way—in a shared moment of witness, solidarity, and commitment to end homelessness.

More than 70 congregations across 25 states and more than 20 denominations have said yes.

We want to make this an annual event and to keep making it better and better. More than that, we have all kinds of ideas about how to keep mobilizing churches to live out their calling among the unhoused.

If you want to help make that sustainable, our GoFundMe is in the bio. If you’d rather help by getting your congregation in the room, the link to register and grab your toolkit is there too.

See you in October?
