News: CHAMPIONS

From the Spring 2009 Newsletter

EveryOne Home is proud to have eleven individuals championing the work of our community to end homelessness in Alameda County. On March 20th 2009, a press event was held to launch our inaugural slate of champions who include individuals from both the public and private sector. Oakland Mayor and EveryOne Home Champion, Ronald Dellums, hosted the event at Oakland City Hall. Phil Mangano, then Executive Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, was a special guest, speaking on both the launch of the EveryOne Home Champions and the federal stimulus funds for Alameda County homeless prevention.

Our Champions will support the core strategies EveryOne Home has outlined in our plan to end homelessness by the year 2020. This team will elevate our efforts by using their resources to garner government/public support, press coverage, business partnerships, and other collaborations.
