2024 Diamond Service Award Winner

Imani Y. Sankofa, an advocate with a deeply personal connection to homelessness, has dedicated herself to fighting for equity and sustainable solutions. In 2001, she shared her own journey as a single mother facing homelessness in an article for NUVO’s “The Blueprint To End Homelessness.” At that time, Imani was raising three school-age children while navigating the challenges of maintaining stability and pursuing higher education. Her firsthand experiences include grappling with the complexities of accessing assistance, lack of resources, transportation barriers, and the stigma associated with seeking support. With a decade of experience in the education system, Imani witnessed the profound impact of homelessness on students’ academic performance, mental well-being, and social development.

Imani’s dedication to addressing every facet of homelessness stems from her belief in the power of compassionate action and systemic change.
