Since 2006 the Homeless Memorial Service has become an annual event hosted by ECOHH to grieve and remember our loved ones who died during the previous year from the direct or indirect result of not having access to an adequate home (with the exception of pausing ECOHH's annual memorial in 2020 & 2021 on account of COVID19).
