“As Shelter Director for the past 6 years, I have seen just about every scenario there is when it comes to family homelessness, from extended periods of time living in a car, to escaping domestic violence. Regardless of the circumstance, I can guarantee one thing, my team will do whatever it takes to meet the most pressing needs of unhoused families in our community.”
