It was a whirlwind 2009, and even though today is January 5, I am still recovering! Thanks to everyone for your support of our efforts to solve homelessness this year! As my term ends, I think about the lives that have been touched this year, from the young adults living in the Fostering Independence program to the single mom who has finally broken the cycle of drug addiction in her family to the veteran in Partners in Housing who says each day is his best. Thank you for changing those lives!

I’m handing over the reins to Regina Jones, the 2010 President. I look forward to reading her thoughts this year!
