Urban Triage will put on the Seen & Unseen event on March 3 to help educate the public about the ongoing housing crisis, especially among area youth 

 

“Seen & Unseen” will consist of four stops outside businesses on Capitol Square, representing the journey of someone experiencing homelessness as they work toward housing.  

“Our hope is that this campaign gives people a glimpse into the immense struggles of overcoming homelessness,” Urban Triage founder and CEO Brandi Grayson said in a statement. “And that highlights the importance of supporting the programs in our community that help folks navigate an incredibly complicated system. Overcoming a situation like this is so much more than just providing a roof over someone’s head. They’ve endured real trauma along the way, and we need to be intentional about addressing all their needs  physical and mental.”
