​

How did you find out about CVH?

I met CVH Organizer Amril at Warayas Park last August and had a long, serious conversation about the state of our community, and housing in particular. I immediately became interested in CVH and the mission, signed her petition, and exchanged information.

 

Why are you a CVH member?

I am a CVH member because of my own personal struggles with housing, homelessness, and eviction. I want to become the solution and create necessary systemic change. Everyone should have to have a place to call home; including myself and the next generation to come. United We Stand, Divided We Fall!
