“Letters of Love” honors the 100+ year legacy of Compass’s mail program, which currently processes over 122,000 pieces of mail annually for people who don’t have a consistent address.
A mailing address provides stability and the opportunity to apply for benefits, seek employment, access resources, and exercise the right to vote. The mail program is a key to ending the cycle of homelessness.
