Committe to End Homelessness

One of the first items of business for the County’s new Board to Promote Self-Sufficiency was to create a Committee to End Homelessness. This committee takes the place of the former, informal Board on Homelessness. The Committee is responsible for advising the Board on issues related to homelessness and for leading the effort to develop and implement a Plan to End Homelessness.

Current Committee members are:

• Janice Brzezinski, Department of Citizen Services (staff)

• Barbara Coleman, Legal Aid Bureau Inc.

• Vanessa Conaway, Humanim

• Kathie Dinoto, Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center

• Anne Dunn, Route 1 Homeless Ministry
