Boots on the ground, assertive engagement

Not only have I’ve been working in this field for the last 10 years, I’ve also spent a quarter of my life homeless and addicted. I operate a nonprofit in Reno Nevada that does sheltering outreach, transitional housing, and recovery programming. I’ve been on cleanups with Andrea, and observed that she and her team display a level of engagement necessary to build rapport with the unhoused that could eventually lead to moving individuals to the next phase.

Andrea is a leader, changemaker, and a driving force. we are lucky to have her in this industry.
