“Prior to becoming a board member, I didn’t put much thought into the homelessness problem in this area.

After being involved for over two years, I believe our organization is helping people develop the skills needed to be self-sufficient members of our community.

Our vision is to expand our services to help more people in the years to come.”

Dane Chandler, EHC Board Member
