ULI Homeless to Housed Screening

Successful practices that help individuals out of homelessness and reduce it across entire communities often go unnoticed. Until We're All Home, a new documentary by Community Solutions and filmmakers Dewi Sungai and Jason Houston, highlights how six U.S. communities are significantly reducing homelessness through the Built for Zero movement. Stay for a post-film discussion led by Gordon Wayne, a passionate advocate and ABC New Person of the Week who overcame homelessness and is now in his second year of law school.

 

Gordon Wayne is a passionate advocate for ending homelessness. After graduating high school, he faced homelessness and lived in his car for 14 months. Undeterred, he earned his Associate's degree in one year while working full-time and later received a full scholarship to Boston College, where he studied leadership and marketing. Currently pursuing his J.D. at the University of Georgia School of Law on a full scholarship, Gordon has completed two walks (over 500 miles each), raising awareness and over $205,000 for the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Gordon's efforts have been recognized by several national and local media and news outlets, including The Tamron Hall Show, and he was named the ABC News Person of the Week twice for his work to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
