A Word from Abigail
For those we serve, health care and housing go hand in hand. We canโt hope to achieve success in one without doing the same in the other. But donโt just take our word for it. Listen to our long time Consumer Advisory Board member, Abigail. Abigail has experienced homelessness first hand and her story shows just how important housing is when it comes to physical and mental health. Please join us in amplifying her voice and share her story!
A Word from Elaine
โI canโt imagine being homeless now.โ Elaine is another long time member of the CFH Consumer Advisory Board and a passionate advocate for housing and health care. Her story focuses on why housing is necessary for both physical and mental health. Help us amplify her voice by sharing her story!
