WASHINGTON, D.C.— Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place is pleased to announce that D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty has named Executive Director Jean-Michel Giraud to serve on the D.C. Interagency Council on Homelessness.

WASHINGTON, DC—Philip Mangano, Executive Director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, will speak about the abolition of homelessness at the Washington National Cathedral’s Perry Auditorium on April 21st at 6:30 pm.  Organized by the Community Council for the Homeless at Friendship Place, Friendship Place Partners, and the Washington National Cathedral, attendance is by invitation only.

Philip F. Mangano is widely considered the nation’s most eloquent advocate for the abolition of homelessness. Since being appointed Executive Director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) in 2002, he has engaged every level of government and the private sector to “constellate” a national partnership to end homelessness. Under Mr. Mangano's leadership, the Council has initiated Federal strategies that "move beyond funding to investing, beyond inputs to outcomes, and beyond managing the crisis to ending the disgrace."
