A mother of three was homeless, living in her car with nowhere to turn. Thanks to Auburn City Schools Social Worker T.H., @arch-homeless.bsky.social provided Emergency Housing Assistance to get them to safety. Now, with Auburn UMC’s support, we’re building a permanent housing plan.

As Executive Director of ARCH, I am proud to celebrate Women’s History Month and the incredible women shaping history and our future.
This month, we recognize women in housing who are working to ensure safe, stable homes. We also honor the women we serve, whose strength inspires us every day.

Proud to lead this organization… A family of five struggled with homelessness after a 2004 car repossession has kept the mother from securing housing. Her disabled son was finally approved, but they couldn’t afford the deposit. @ARCH-Homeless stepped in, and now they have keys in hand. #Follow

Ran out of my Juan Valdez coffee on a Friday… of ALL days. But I’m standing strong in this economic blackout. No Amazon, no Target run, no coffee shop bailout. Just me, my willpower, and these withdrawal symptoms. Stay strong, self. Stay strong. ☕✊🏾 #BlackoutEconomics #SendHelp”

When we educate our communities on the power of collaboration, we take real steps toward ending homelessness. Awareness leads to action, and action creates change. #EndHomelessness #CommunityImpact

Honored to have presented at the Future Teachers of America Statewide Conference. I left inspired by the next generation of classroom leaders and their compassion. With over 1.3 million students homeless in the U.S., their empathy will make a difference.
