Homeless Persons’ Memorial Service Pays Tribute to 77 Lost in 2022

Last night members of the Human Services Department were honored to join with the Hyannis community in bringing recognition to those homeless and previously homeless in our community as part of the annual Homeless Persons’ Memorial Service. Each year the event is held on the longest night of the year. This years’ service paid tribute to the 77 lives lost in 2022. Our Department remains committed to the work of ensuring all Cape residents have access to safe, secure housing.
