I have a broad base of experience that makes me an excellent candidate for this commission. The charter of the new commission will address the continuum of housing issues, including affordable housing, transitional housing, homelessness, and other poverty-driven concerns. I have been a member of the Housing Commission for over 8 years as well as chair of the Housing Commission for 2 terms and a member of the Homeless Steering Committee since its inception almost 3 years ago. I have a good working relationship with the commission/committee members and other community members that have dedicated their time to solving very complex housing and human services issues. In addition, I have been active in city government activities and numerous local non-profits. I have volunteered at the local community meal, Uncle Foods Diner, for 3 years and served as chair and board member of Peace House, the non-profit who sponsors Uncle Foods Diner. This volunteer service has enabled me to interact with the members of our community that will be the program beneficiaries of services that will be developed and implemented by the Housing and Human Services Commission. The level of trust and understanding that I have established with this community gives me a solid foundation to design and implement the necessary programs to address the crucial services that support people in moving forward to become self sufficient. I have much to contribute to our community and the Housing and Human Services Commission is where I want to commit my substantial energy and time. Thank you for your consideration.
