Civics

Unhoused people want to be housed. They want to be seen. They want to be heard. This choir gives them the mic.

Since 2017, Voices of Our City has impacted the lives of over 275 unsheltered people, connected 30 adults to employment, facilitated more than 90 moves into safe shelter, and reached millions more in over 100 public performances.

""Voices of Our City amplifies the voices of people impacted by homelessness through music and the arts. Our choir members develop renewed hope, personal empowerment, and the life skills to achieve their goals.

""We envision a city where every person living on the streets has the opportunity to find joy, heal, and freely express themselves."" - Voices of Our City
