Creative Writing Project

CCH organizer Wayne Richard is reviving the Coming Home Project. This program engages people experiencing homelessness through creative writing exercises. As redesigned this past year, writing outreach will be offered once a week at two sites.

A former participant in Coming Home, Wayne’s work in the project also introduced him to CCH. In the 1990s, Wayne was working as a building engineer when he experienced homelessness. In 1999, he was staying at Cathedral Shelter, where he was encouraged to write for the first time since fourth grade by a Coming Home organizer. Since his participation in Coming Home, Wayne has continued to write poetry, and his writing has been published and presented in poetry slams.
