It
happens
to
you
was
a
Monday
night.
It
was
cold
out.
I
did
not
get
a
spot
in
the
warming
center,
so
I
went
over
to
y2i
and
hoped
that
I'd
get
a
bed
there.
I
did
not
get
a
bed
there.
I
tried
for
their
last
call.
Bed
I
did
not
get
their
last
call.
Bed
I
also
tried
a
shelter
called
HSHS,
which
is
the
Harvard
Square
homeless,
shelter.
They
do
a
lottery
system
for
their
emergency
beds.
I
did
not
get
an
emergency
bed,
so
I
ended
up
sleeping
on
the
streets
at
night.

Thank
You
Melissa,
David
long
mayor,
Walsh,
community
leaders
and
friends
good
morning
good
morning,
I
want
to
join
in
welcoming
you
here
to
my
place
of
business
and
thank
every
one
of
you
for
caring
about
youth,
who
are
unstable,
house
or
homeless.
I
stand
here
today
as
living
proof
of
the
power
and
potential
of
homeless
youth
and
how
your
work
matters.
We.
E
Too,
at
Liberty
Mutual
know
that
your
work
matters
each
program
celebrated
here
today
furthers
one
or
more
of
five
goals
to
address
an
end:
youth
and
young
adult
homelessness;
first,
early
identification
and
intervention;
second,
permanent
connections;
third,
stable
housing;
fourth,
mental
and
physical
health
and
fifth
education
and
workforce
development.
I.
F
Know
that
these
goals
are
important,
starting
around
10:00,
my
family
lost
housing
and
had
to
move
into
a
shelter
for
a
long
time.
I
was
moving
out
moving
around
a
lot
with
my
mother,
from
shelter
to
shelter
scrounging
for
food.
This
lasted
a
long
time
until
just
this
year
during
this,
all
I
worked
hard
to
stay
in
school,
even
though
I
mom
didn't
really
seem
to
care,
but
it
was
just
too
hard
and
I
dropped
down.
This
was
great.
I
almost
made
it
about.
F
F
They
also
told
me
about
job
training
here,
I've
more
than
words
after
a
bit
of
convincing
I,
did
the
application,
I
love
to
work
I'm,
not
really
much
of
a
talker.
So
I've
learned
to
get
out
of
my
shell
and
customer
service
on
the
phone
or
as
a
ship
leader,
I,
earned
promotions
and
learn
how
to
get
feedback
to
my
peers
as
a
ship
leader
in
the
business.
F
But
even
with
all
the
support,
homelessness
was
still
making
it
hard
for
me,
that's
the
problem.
It
can
make
your
life
chaotic,
even
when
you're
trying
to
get
it
back
on
track.
I
had
to
buy
a
backpack
to
carry
all
my
possessions
with
me
everyday
and
everywhere.
I
went
I
lost
a
lot
of
my
things
and
all
my
winter
clothes,
that's
one
more
than
words
in
Bridge
selected
me
for
a
new
housing
programs
supported
by
Liberty,
Mutual
and
now
I'm
living
in
my
very
own
personal
room,
while
I
save
up
for
permanent
housing
in
college.
F
When
I
get
my
first
got
there,
all
I
wanted
to
do
was
set
up.
My
stuff
I
want
to
decorate
my
door
and
get
a
fish
Gwendoline
Thank,
You,
Liberty,
neutral
and
everyone
here
for
supporting
bridge
more
more
than
words
and
homeless
youth.
There's
another
person
I'd
like
to
think
he
has
stepped
up
with
resources.
People
and
personal
involvement
I'm
very
proud
to
introduce
Liberty
neutrals
chairman
and
CEO
David
H
long.
G
I
know
that
clapping's
for
you,
no
one
ever
claps
when
I
speak
so
Amina.
You
are
actually
the
heart
of
why
we're
all
here
today
and
I,
appreciate
your
co-host
and
with
Melissa,
and
thank
you
for
sharing
your
perspective
and
most
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
inspiration
you
bring
to
all
of
us
in
this
room.
G
Mayor,
Walsh,
Megan,
community
partners
and
Friends.
Today
is
a
very
special
day
for
all
of
us
at
Liberty
Mutual
today
we
celebrate
extraordinary
community
partners.
Do
an
exceptional
work
on
behalf
of
I'm
working
alongside
youth
experiencing
homelessness,
and
while
we've
come
together
several
times
in
different
settings
over
the
past
year
or
so
today
feels
a
little
different.
Today
we
have
a
newfound
momentum.
F
G
So
today,
Liberty's
put
in
a
5
million
dollar
stake
in
the
ground
on
behalf
of
young
people
who
are
homeless,
who
fly
under
the
radar,
who
are
exiting
systems
of
care
who
are
disproportionately
LGBTQ
and
who
have
been
kicked
out
and
let
down
by
people
in
places.
We
often
say
at
Liberty
the
progress
happens
when
people
feel
secure
young
people
who
have
to
worry
about
their
next
meal
can't
focus
on
fulfilling
their
dreams.
Young
people
who
have
to
spend
their
day
searching
for
a
bed
can't
focus
on
school
or
career
planning.
G
Young
people
who
must
manage
trauma
on
their
own
on
the
streets
must
focus
on
how
they
will
survive,
not
thrive.
We
know
that
youth
experiencing
homelessness
need
trusting
relationships.
They
need
trauma-informed
programming,
they
need
education
and
employment,
they
need
and
deserve
the
chance
to
thrive.
G
Mayor
Walsh,
we
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
we
thank
your
staff
for
their
deep
dedication
as
well.
We
all
know
I've
said
it
before
that
young
people
experiencing
homelessness
are
often
hidden
in
plain
sight,
but
they've
never
been
hidden
from
you
to
our
19
community
partners.
On
behalf
of
all
of
the
young
people
struggling
to
survive
on
the
streets
today,
who,
because
of
you,
will
be
able
to
confidently
pursue
their
own
tomorrows
I?
Thank
you.
E
H
H
I
have
relaxed
here
and
I'm
kind
of
completely
blown
off
I
miss
the
video
I
apologize
and
we
had
a
cabinet
meeting
back
in
the
office
and
and
right
now,
I,
don't
know
I,
just
just
overwhelmed.
I'll
come
back
to
my
starts
in
a
second
to
Melissa
and
what
she
does
at
the
foundation.
I
just
can't.
Thank
you
enough.
H
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
every
day:
Sheila
Dillon
chief
of
housing
in
the
city
of
Boston,
when
we,
when
we
when
we
started
talking
in
2013
what
happened
in
the
city
in
2015
I,
was
at
a
meeting
at
the
White
House
and
Michelle
Obama
challenged
us
in
around
America
to
end
chronic
veterans,
homelessness,
and
we
had
done
a
lot
of
stuff
up
to
that
point
and
and
that
she
said
any
city
in
America
is
gonna.
Take
this
on,
raise
your
hand
so
I
raised
my
hands
and
I
had
no
idea
how
I
was
gonna.
H
Do
this
somebody
I'm
gonna,
do
we're
gonna,
do
it
and
I
came
home
and
I
said
chill
I
said
chill
around,
we
have
something
to
do
and
she
what
is
it
said
we
have
to
end
chronic
regice.
Almost
this
okay!
Well,
you
know
we
have
the
term
to
do
what
I
said
know
by
the
end
of
the
year,
and
we
put
a
plan
together
and
we
hired
Lyla
and
we
started
to
work
together
towards
doing
that.
And
then
we
started
looking
at
individual
homelessness
and
ending
chronic
homelessness.
H
And
then,
then
we
then
then
I
stumbled
into
a
bridge
over
troubled
waters
and
as
that
an
event,
the
first,
my
first
few
months
in
office
and
and
I,
was
at
an
auction
and
I
said
we
have
to
do
more.
We're
not
doing
enough
and
in
the
momentum
started
down.
The
road
and
mighty
mightiness
came
on
board
afterwards
and
we
talked
about
how
do
we
make
sure
not
just
house
housing,
young
people?
H
How
do
we
make
sure
they
have
the
supports
and
all
and
the
supports
they
need,
the
the
the
the
health
supports
and
things
like
that
we
started
working
there
and
then
we
found
and
I
knew
this
already.
There
was
amazing
partners
in
the
city
of
Boston
already
doing
this
work,
and
and
how
do
we
collaborate
together?
So
this
has
taken
a
lot
of
organizations
to
do
this.
Congratulations
to
the
organization's
I'm
not
going
to
talk
too
much
about
I.
H
Do
this
work
I'm
the
mayor,
I
run
from
me:
I
ran
for
mayor
because
I
love
helping
people.
That's
honestly,
the
why
why
I
ran
for
mayor
of
Boston
I
didn't
run
for
a
name
bridge
after
me,
or
a
building
after
me.
I
didn't
do
that.
For
that
reason,
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
when
I'm
done
as
mayor
many
many
many
many
years
on
the
road
is
is
is
is
looking
back
and
seeing
what
we've
done
here
and
homelessness
and
on
youth,
homelessness
and
thinking
about
how
do
you
do
it?
H
And
it's
not
me
it's
an
administration
that
works
collectively
together,
but
it's
also
having
a
partner
like
Liberty
Mutual
like
Melissa
and
David
long,
who
never
say
no,
who
say
how
do
we
make
it
happen?
Most
people
look
and
see
a
commercial
on
TV
and
see
the
Liberty
Mutual
commercial
and
they
see
the
the
the
emblem
and
what
they
don't
see
is
the
little
sign
next
to
the
a
moment
with
the
house
and
the
Hartnett.
They
don't
see
people
coming
to
more
than
words
and
hearing
about
a
grant
proposal.
H
H
This
isn't
people
sitting
in
a
boardroom,
checking
the
box
off
of
what
donation
should
be
made
and
maybe
getting
some
credit
they've
made
an
actual
investment,
not
just
in
financial
dollars,
but
in
the
company's
DNA
and
I
want
to
thank
Libby
mutual
for
that,
because
we
can't
do
this
alone.
I
was
at
a
meeting
the
other
day.
H
H
What
young
people
need
is
somebody
to
understand
that
that
they're
loved
by
people-
and
we
want
all
the
young
people
in
this
place
to
know
you
might
not
know
anybody
in
this
room,
but
we
love
you
David
long
loves,
you
Melissa
loves
you
Liberty
Mutual
loves
you
other
people
love
you
that's
why
we
here
today
and
I
just
want
to
end
by
thanking
thanking
you,
David
thanking
you.
From
the
first
day,
I
met
you
and
I
met
Melissa
before
I
met.
You
and
I
want
to.
Thank
this
is
not.
H
This
is
not
a
one
time
when,
when
David
Melissa
leave
here,
then
they
go
into
their
corporate
world
and
don't
think
about
this
they're
constantly
thinking
about
how
do
they
improve
the
lives
of
people
and
particularly
young
people,
and
then
the
grantees?
Congratulations
to
all
the
people
here.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
I
know
that
sometimes
and
I
had
a
moment
this
morning
at
my
cabinet
meeting.
Sometimes
we
have
this.
H
We
all
need
somebody
that
show
us
that
way
so
again
to
all
the
people
here
today.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
completely
didn't
go
off
my
talking
points.
I,
don't
know
if
I
was
supposed
to,
but
but
we
are
going
to
we
are
going
to.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
work
to
end
homelessness
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
be
a
kind
of
a
opportunity
for
other
places
to
look
and
see
what
are
you
doing
in
Boston?
H
F
Thank
you
so
much
Mary,
Walsh
and
now
I'm
extremely
pleased
to
introduce
our
featured
speaker,
a
woman
who
has
led
a
national
collaboration
of
organizations
who
work
to
end
youth
experiencing
homelessness.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
the
director
of
a
way
home
America
as
well
as
advocate
it
as
well
as
author
and
advocate
Miss
Megan
Gibbon
Kline.
I
Everybody
I
just
have
about
45
minutes
of
remarks,
so
just
sit
tight.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
warm
invitation
and
thank
you
for
having
me
I
want
to
say.
We
have
never
been
closer
to
ending
youth
homelessness
and
you
all
in
Boston
are
particularly
well-positioned
to
get
it
done.
First,
and
you
say
nice
things
when
you
go
to
speak
places
but
I
want
to
say
authentically,
you
have
a
magic
formula
here
in
Boston,
Liberty
Mutual
is
an
incredible
company
with
people
who
really
do
care
and
you
are
very
well-positioned
to
end
youth
homelessness.
I
So
that's
the
that's
the
challenge
in
front
of
us.
If
you
are
new
to
away
America
I
want
to
talk
very
briefly
about
what
it
is
we
do.
We
are
an
initiative
to
build
the
national
movement
to
end
youth
homelessness
and
we
are
made
up
of
national
advocates
young
people,
service
providers,
researchers
all
coming
together
behind
that
goal
and
lots
of
things
I
could
say.
I
But
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
we
have
a
fundamental
understanding
about
how
we
do
this
work
and
the
key
part
of
that
understanding
is
that
if
you
Center
the
leadership
of
young
people,
if
you
Center
racial
and
LGBTQ
equity,
you
create
a
condition
that
is
fundamentally
different,
that
releases
innovation.
That
actually
gets
the
work
done.
So
what
we're
about
doing
is
creating
conditions
for
the
change
to
emerge
and
that
has
to
include
centering
the
voices
of
young
people,
leadership
and
young
people
and
equity.
I
Just
last
was
we've
been
around
since
2016
I
won't
go
into
all
of
this
I
want
to
highlight
one
thing
that
we
did
last
year
because
it's
how
we
aim
to
live
into
our
values
of
justice
and
equity.
The
steering
committee
of
away
homeric,
which
is
30
national
leaders,
all
decided
to
collectively
push
back
from
that
table
and
create
spaces
for
young
people,
would
lived
expertise
to
lead.
So
that's
a
big
deal,
30
national
leaders
who
are
important
people
that
show
up
to
important
things
said.
I
You
know
what
we
actually
want:
a
leadership
body
of
15
people.
Eight
of
those
should
be
young
people
with
lived
expertise,
and
here
they
are
they're
the
founding
eight,
and
they
are
awesome
more
on
our
leadership
body
in
the
coming
year,
actually
want
to
skip
this
and
say
very
briefly,
I'd
love
to
talk
with
you
more
about
this.
A
way
how
America
has
an
emergent
theory
of
change
where,
if
we
are
creating
conditions
for
a
thing,
we
have
never
done
before
to
be
true
right.
We
have
not
yet
ended
youth
homelessness.
I
We
have
to
lean
really
hard
into
emergence.
It's
not
a
line
where
we
say
we
do
these
things
and
the
output
is
ending
youth
homelessness.
We
actually
have
to
work
at
creating
a
new
thing,
so
I
want
to
move
now
to
how
we
understand
to
the
work
and
I'm
here
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
national
context.
I
think
I'm
here
to
Wow
and
entertain
you,
but
what
I
want
to
do
is
from
our
position
nationally
give
some
context
about
what
the
movement
is.
A
lot
has
changed
in
the
last
four
years.
I
I've
been
doing
this
work
for
20
years,
and
it's
embarrassing
because
we
haven't
done
it
yet.
So
any
of
us
in
the
room
who
have
done
this
work
for
a
long
time,
should
take
a
big
dose
of
humility.
Everybody
in
this
section
getting
big
grants
because
I
haven't
done
it
yet,
so
we
need
to
keep
pushing.
We
used
to
understand.
I
Youth
homelessness
is
a
technical
problem,
so
we
didn't
think
that
we
could
end
youth
homelessness
and
so
it
sort
of
like
baking
a
cake
if
you
sort
of
take
these
ingredients
and
you
combine
them
in
the
same
ways-
you're
gonna
get
a
cake
right.
Youth
homelessness
is
not
a
technical
problem
and
it's
not
in
fact
a
complicated
problem.
I
If
you
go
to
the
moon,
you
sort
of
combine
all
of
these
things
in
the
same
degrees
and
you
get
to
the
moon
every
single
time
or
it's
a
dizzying
array
of
problems,
but
you're
gonna
get
to
the
moon
every
time.
Well,
we
understand
today
is
that
youth
homelessness
is
a
complex
problem
that
requires
a
system
response,
and
we
in
this
room
have
only
one
goal,
and
that
goal
is
to
end
youth
homelessness.
It's
not
to
do
better.
It's
not
to
do
good
stuff.
I
It's
actually
to
eradicate
this
problem,
as
we
understand
it
today,
it's
a
lot
like
raising
a
family.
So
if
you
are
a
parent,
you
know
you
can't
do
the
exact
same
thing
with
the
first
kid,
as
you
do
the
second
kid
and
get
the
same
kid
right.
Like
the
context
change
you
change,
the
child
is
different
to
end.
Youth
homelessness
is
a
complex
problem
like
raising
a
family
where
we
have
to
become
adaptive
problem
solvers
that
change
based
on
the
conditions,
changing
and
continue
to
try
new
things,
we've
also
gotta
lean
into
failure.
I
Boston
is
a
city
of
very
strong,
maybe
perfectionist
people,
so
we're
gonna
talk
about
that,
leaning
it
to
failure
in
just
a
moment.
So
in
summary,
we
used
to
pick
Mars
more
right
like
we're.
Gonna,
do
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
today,
we're
gonna,
do
more
of
them
and
that's
gonna
be
better,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
good
things.
We
should
do
more
of
them,
which
should
have
more
shelter
beds,
more
housing
beds.
But
what
we
understand
today-
and
this
is
the
fundamental
shift-
is
that
to
end
youth
homelessness.
I
We
have
to
build
a
system.
The
easiest
way
to
think
about
that
is
a
bathtub
right.
There's
water
that
comes
into
the
tub
water
in
the
tub.
What
exits
we
have
to
be
responsive
as
a
community?
No
one
program
can
do
this
as
a
community
Boston
needs
to
be
responsive
to
who
is
experiencing
homelessness.
How
long
are
people
experiencing
homelessness
who's
exiting
and
who
is
returning?
No
one
program
can
hold
that
responsibility.
This
entire
room
has
to
create
the
system
that
is
responsive
to
that
problem.
I
So
the
short
thing
that
I
want
to
tell
you
about
the
context.
That's
changed
is
two
things
one.
The
goal
is
now
to
end
youth
homelessness.
It's
not
just
to
do
good
stuff.
The
second
thing
is
that
we
have
to
build
a
system
that
responds
to
youth
homelessness,
and
maybe
the
third
thing
is
that
equity
and
youth
collaboration
of
the
key
tenants
of
that
system
that
we
have
to
build.
I
This
is
just
an
illustration
of
four
years
ago.
There
was
nothing
on
this
map.
There
were
a
lot
of
programs
doing
good
work
and
that's
profound,
so
I'm
not
minimizing
that
what
I
want
to
highlight
is
that
there
are
over
80
communities
that
are
now
involved
in
system
building
efforts
to
effectively
end
youth
homelessness
across
the
country.
Obviously
Boston.
You
are
here
and
strong
and
involved
in
multiple
efforts.
I
I
want
to
drill
down
into
something
that
is
a
bear.
Throwing
money
if
you're
in
the
back
to
things
kind
of
by
illustration
that
we're
paying
attention
to
innovative
practices
that
are
emerging
one
is
that
for
a
number
of
young
people,
this
is
not
going
to
work
for
every
young
person,
but
there
are
some
young
people
experiencing
homelessness,
for
whom
money
is
gonna
solve
the
problem.
How
can
we
work
with
young
people
and
say
what
would
solve
this
problem
this
week?
Is
it
money
great
who
needs
that
money?
Where
can
we
pay
rent
to?
I
What
is
the
thing
that
you
need
and
let's
be
flexible
about
how
that
happens?
The
second
thing
that
we're
paying
attention
to
there's
gosh
I'm,
forgetting
the
flexible
cash
diversion.
What
is
it
called
unconditional
cash
transfer
is
something
that
we're
piloting
in
New
York
City,
which
is
really
interesting.
I
know,
Boston
has
really
been
engaged,
and
how
do
we
do
this
really
flexibly
we're
paying
a
lot
attention
to
that?
I
The
other
thing
that
we're
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
is
communities
that
are
really
doubling
down
on
racial
and
LGBT
equity
and
youth
leadership,
saying
this
is
not
just
a
cool
thing.
This
is
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
So
how
do
we
really
live
into
that
value
of
the
system?
All
right?
So
this
is
my
favorite
gift.
Jiff
I,
don't
know
how
you
pronounce
it
it's
a
gif
or
Jif.
Do
they
know
Jeff?
Thank
you,
young
person
on
the
front
row.
It
is
my
favorite.
I
What
I
want
to
do
right
now
is
be
the
wind
in
your
hair,
the
wind
beneath
your
wings.
I
want
to
celebrate
you
all
in
Boston.
So
do
you
feel
like
this
Chihuahua
in
the
wind,
Joella
honestly
heartfelt
kudos
again,
this
is
an
unusual
community.
Liberty
Mutual
is
a
tremendous
company
and
you
all
are
incredible
providers
on
the
ground.
So
there
is
a
condition
here
that
a
lot
of
communities
don't
have.
You
all
have
a
remarkable
resource
in
this
room,
so
I
want
to
just
celebrate
you
for
that.
I
The
second
thing
that
I
want
to
do
is
congratulate
you
for
your
leadership,
work
and
I
know
that
work
is
hard
and
you're
not
there.
Yet
you
don't
arrive
with
youth
leadership
right,
but
you're
recognized
Boston
by
the
true
colors
United
for
your
work
and
your
youth
action
board.
Keep
going,
keep
struggling
at
that
and
it's
a
principle
struggle
to
do
that.
I
Work
and
the
other
thing
that
I
see
in
Boston
is
that
you
all
understand
the
power
of
campaigns
so
that
young
people
providers
communities
when
you
come
together
in
relationship
behind
a
gut
churning
goal
that
creates
urgency.
That
allows
a
new
thing
to
be
true.
So
thank
you
for
understanding
that
power
keep
at
it.
That's
unique,
that's
unique
here
in
Boston
and
then
as
grantees
I
think
this
is
the
grantee
group
right.
You
all
have
received
big
grants.
I
I
want
to
say
that
all
of
you
have
said
not
only
what
is
the
work
that
I'm
doing
in
my
agency
or
in
my
program?
But
what
is
the
work?
That's
tying
to
our
community
and
tying
to
this
initiative,
and
that's
really
profound
work
so
keep
at
it,
and
it's
impressive
I
want
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
parting
advice
mates
the
top
of
the
year.
Maybe
we're
all
feeling
reflective
I,
don't
know.
I
First,
is
that
young
people
change
everything,
and
so,
when
young
people
have
actual
decision-making
ability
that
creates
conditions
that
are
fundamentally
different
than
what
exists
today.
So
keep
at
that.
It's
hard
work,
nobody
has
it
figured
out,
but
that
it
is
a
fundamental
work.
The
second
is
that
no
surprise
I
would
say
this
equity
is
necessary
to
reaching
our
goal,
particularly
when
young
people
are
giving
advice
and
perspective
and
direction
to
the
system
about
where
we
are
and
are
not
meeting
those
goals
around
equity,
listen
and
that
gets
down
to
everything
that
we're
funding.
I
Does
it
work
best
for
black
and
brown
young
people?
Does
it
work
best
for
LGBTQ
young
people,
and
how
do
we
know
that
those
are
the
young
people
most
likely
to
experience
homelessness,
targeted,
universalism,
build
the
system
around
those
young
people,
and
this
is
the
advice
for
Boston
in
particular-
fail
faster
right,
it's
not
comfortable.
This
is
hard
work
figure
out.
What
doesn't
work
then
do
the
next
thing
that
is
fundamentally
the
work
of
being
an
adaptive
problem,
solver
and
getting
there
and
then
the
final
thing
is:
please
don't
ever
forget
that
this
is
possible.
I
E
Thank
you
so
much
Megan
for
joining
us
today,
and
even
more
so
for
what
you're
doing
around
the

really
loved
partnering
with
you.
We
knew
your
voice
and
perspective
would
add
greatly
to
today's
event
and
now
the
reason
we
are
all
here
today
to
celebrate
some
amazing
grantees
to
introduce
our
honorees

each
of
our
priority
areas.

The
fifth

final
group
of
organizations

this
is
a
lot
of
effort.
That's
happening
around
the
state

getting
the
public
colleges
to
step
up
and
provide
housing
for
students.
