Reflections

The way we treat our clients and our employees is a reflection of our organization's values. And we hope it reflects our funders’ values.

When I catch myself looking in the rearview mirror for what feels like too long. I say "pay attention to what's in front of you."

We lack leadership at all levels of government to redirect and prioritize policy and resources to make eliminating homelessness a reality.

Everyone deserves a healthy life, and that means having a home; even if they made some bad choices along the way.

We must move our frame of thinking and acting from managing homelessness to "ending" it.

Natural disasters are often what lead to a crisis response. This is the most unnatural of disasters. Is that why it isn't urgent?

What are you doing and how are you going to get through the day? Well today, the answer to "how" was "sheer determination."

The silence. In meditation it's the gap, where there is no thought. How we spend our time being in our human experience. That's powerful.

Every legislator should spend time doing outreach to people on the streets to really connect with and understand unsheltered homelessness.

I'm left with the desire to plead that people take care of each other, stop being mean to one another. Teach empathy and compassion.
