Eileen facilitated a working partnership between people with lived experience of homelessness and local homelessness response systems as a best practice, with applicants for emergency shelter funding tasked to ensure representation of the human experience of homelessness among their advisors. A convenience sample of people with lived experience of homelessness explored an opportunity to advise the Mid-Alabama Coalition for the Homeless (MACH) by forming a learning community with a focus on the principles of Transformative Leadership (a curriculum authored by Eloy Anello, Joan Hernandez, and May Khadem). The group of adult learners considered ways of changing their thinking about humanity, their ideas about leadership, and their understanding of themselves as “the change they want to see in the world.” A diverse learning community made up of 8 people with lived experience of homelessness adopted a principle-based vision for homelessness response in Montgomery. They elected a leader from within the learning community by secret ballot to facilitate future meetings. Two of the 8 attended and vocally participated in a MACH membership meeting, and 3 of the 8 attended and vocally participated in a County Commission meeting. A handbook with resources and methods used to form this and future groups is being prepared by the researcher and two of the group leaders. A copy of this will be given to MACH. The elected leader of the group is willing to bring the existing group or a new group of people with lived experiences of homelessness together for further consultation and action.
