Chief Executive Officer of Homeless Children's Network
"No single organization or individual can make a meaningful impact on this crisis without a multi-year, robustly funded investment in a citywide community driven collaboration.​ ​
There is a generational impact of substance use disorder and overdoses. For every one adult we lose, many people, including children, are impacted."
