Honoring our Community Champions
Oct.28.2021
This has been an extremely rough year for our community (yet again) and the list of people who continued to show up and step up during the continued pandemic is way too long try to capture in this journal entry. We at the Network are grateful to ALL of you who coalesced to get our community through this dreadful time, but below we take a moment to shout-out of a few of our many champions:
Kevin Cope, Outstanding Tenant of the Year
Oct.28.2021
Dedicated to helping others, Kevin Cope’s mission to give back is inspiring to everyone around him.
Jailynn-Joanna Henderson, Outstanding Tenant of the Year
Oct.28.2021
Jailynn-Joanna Henderson’s decision to live an authentic life, to finally be herself, cost her everything: her job, her family, her home. But it also put her on a path to becoming who she is today: an advocate for trans women of color, a YouTuber, a role model.
Honoring Lamb Insurance
Oct.28.2021
Lamb Insurance is the largest insurance broker in the country working exclusively with nonprofit and social service organizations, which means they only help organizations that help people. For the supportive housing world, it also means that they have a deep understanding of our community and its unique issues. That has always been valuable, but it was never more so than during the past eighteen months when not only did nonprofits face huge challenges they also saw revenues dip and prices rise.
