Besides the longstanding involvement of HEAR US in projects that raise awareness of family/youth homelessness, HEAR US has flexibility to pursue projects that would otherwise take a long time for other organizations to get off the ground. When a relevant issue arises, and circumstances allow, Diane can often pursue it, either by researching and blogging about it or visiting the location and filming.
Other endeavors include Memorial Blanket Project, and various local awareness-raising events, e.g. diaper drives.
