Two leaders who have tremendous stories of incarceration, transformation, resilience, social impact, and entrepreneurial leadership. They are the workforce development gurus and and are transforming the landscape of reentry. The results are transformed lives and healing communities. Ken was CROP's former Executive Director and passes the torch of leadership to Terah on the show with profound respect and trust. Terah Lawyer-Harper is CROP Organization's new Executive Director. She was previously an Associate Director at Impact Justice. At Impact Justice, Terah developed and led the organization's groundbreaking Homecoming Project, a $3.5M housing innovation project that paired people returning home after long prison sentences with welcoming community hosts. She received national and state recognition for her innovation and impact in the Bay Area.

I've gotten to know Terah over the last three months and I can tell our audience that our team is excited to have her as our new Executive Director: She's passionate, ambitious, innovative, solution-orientated, forward thinking, and a social connector/networker. She's warm, attentive, and approachable. She has a strong moral compass and is courageous. She's professional, articulate, and a born leader. She takes pride in her efforts with great energy and focus. Our team loves her inclusive leadership style.

She is spokeswoman for the Drop the Life Without the Possibility of Parole campaign and a member of California's Prison Focus Board of Directors. She is featured in A New Way of Life testimonial series and actively volunteers with local organizations, including Fair Housing Initiative, California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, All of us or None, Prison Focus, Project Homeless Connect, and Restorative Justice Reentry Conference.

In this episode we feature the voice of Meghan Freebeck, the Chief Executive Officer of Project Homeless Connect. Back in 2004 the City of San Francisco was struggling with both the growth of community members becoming homeless and how to provide the necessary wrap around services to help them off the streets.The City of San Francisco was implementing the Care Not Cash Program to help homeless San Franciscans receiving County Adult Assistance Programs by offering them housing or shelter and support services as part of their benefits. Project Homeless Connect was created in 2004, by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom and the San Francisco Department of Public Health as a way to provide a one stop service agency for all the necessary wrap around services to people experiencing homelessness.

This is a special episode of Voices of the Community featuring the voices of Meghan Freebeck, and Carla Praglin of Project Homeless Connect. Since my mom died back in the fall of 2016 I have used some of the monies I inherited from her to support the work of Project Homeless Connect through an annual holiday crowdfunding campaign. Over the past two years together with friends, family, and listeners like you, we have raised over Ten Thousand Dollars to provide dental, vision, hearing and housing support services to hundreds of our fellow community members who are experiencing homelessness. Every two years the City of San Francisco conducts a Point in Time Count of every homeless person both sheltered and unsheltered. The 2017 count was 7,499 persons experiencing homelessness. The 2019 count was 9,784 persons experiencing homelessness, a 30 percent increase with 1,145 of them being unaccompanied children and transitional age youth.  According to Bay Area Community Services, for every one person housed, three people fall into homelessness. Additionally, the San Francisco Foundation has found that 20% of unhoused bay area residents were housed just two years ago. I hope that you will join us in supporting the Project Homeless Connect holiday crowdfunding campaign by visiting https://handup.org/campaigns/cdos to make your donation.

PORTLAND, OR - Citizen activist Chris Smith spearheaded a strong cycling contingent at the transportation section of yesterday's Project Homeless Connect. * Legacy Health System handed out and fitted over 600 helmets. * Jay from Community Cycling Center had 87 referrals to the Create-A-Commuter program. * Timo Forsberg of Portland Dept. of Transportation and Emily Gardener of BTA had 34 referrals for the Ways to Work program. * 14 bikes plus a stroller and a wheelchair were repaired by Steven Kung (Exchange Cycling Tours), myself, and other volunteer bike mechanics. Community Cycling Center provided the tools. Transportation issues are a significant stumbling block for many homeless and low income people. Cycling is one low cost and often accessible option that allows people to reconnect to jobs and community. It was our hope that our efforts promoted cycling accessibility and safety.
