“Homelessness intersects with every aspect of public health, economic stability, and community wellbeing. I serve on the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness board because I believe solutions require evidence-based action, collaborative problem-solving, policy change, and strong commitment to the communities we serve. I believe that sustainable change happens when we center the voices of those most affected, build partnerships across sectors, and translate our awareness into tangible solutions and results to ensure that safe, stable housing becomes a reality for all residents, not a privilege for some.”
