Each year, the Law Center honors and celebrates leaders who raise awareness about and advance solutions to end homelessness and poverty. The prestigious awards are presented to innovative change-makers who are fighting for a future where everyone has a place to call home.
 
This year, the Law Center is proud to present the Personal Achievement Award to Khadijah Williams. Khadijah has experienced homelessness personally from her youth on Skid Row in Los Angeles. Despite the challenges of her early life, her personal drive and the McKinney-Vento Act ensured that she completed her education, including a degree from Harvard. She has since shared her story on venues such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, the New York Times, Essence Magazine, and countless others.
 
The Personal Achievement Award is given to people who have experienced homelessness to celebrate their perseverance and accomplishment through extremely difficult circumstances. We believe that Khadijah is extremely deserving of this award, not just for her own incredible accomplishments, but for the advocacy and work she continues to provide for others experiencing homelessness.
 
We hope you will join us at the McKinney-Vento awards to celebrate Khadijah Williams. Tickets are on sale now[[link removed]], and you can also become a sponsor here[[link removed]].
