I would be honored to be the Denton County Homeless Coalition Chair because I believe that each person in our community deserves the basic human right of safe and stable housing. Solid community based work begins with passionate individuals making waves to support their neighbors and I see the Denton County Homeless Coalition as the foundation for that support, so I would love to continue to support the Coalition during my time as the Chair and after that commitment as well.
If I was provided the opportunity to be the chair for the Coalition I would like to focus additional efforts on creating more advocacy and awareness opportunities and/or events in the County to expand our reach to our neighbors in crisis. I believe in building connection and community with not only our current members and agencies, but also building relationships with existing nonprofits and community groups to create new stakeholders all working towards efforts of making homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.
