Greg Anglea, Kate Jones, and Gregory Moore
Welcome to Homeless in San Diego! Host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, welcomes you to Season Two: “Homebound.” This season we will cover: Housing, Recovery, Poverty, and Mental Health.
Here to talk about his experience with Housing is Gregory Moore. Greg is a formerly homeless client, son of a peanut farmer, and the very first success story from our “SOAR” program. Joining him to give us some perspective on SOAR is, Interfaith SOAR Case Manager, Kate Jones.
Special Announcement:
At Interfaith Community Services, we pride ourselves on bringing people together. People like Greg and Kate help make Interfaith a more connected community by working together.
So how do we ensure that’s possible? To keep our community connected, we need a database network we are sticking together. Unfortunately, without a strong database, we cannot properly track the success of the programs we run and the people we help.
Yet, thanks to Funders Together to End Homelessness, we have a $25,000 matching grant opportunity for this endeavor. That means every dollar you give will be matched 100% down to the cent. The total cost of revamping our database will near $115,000. And so far, we’ve raised $60,000. If we can reach that goal, our project will be nearly fully funded.
With your support, we can help thousands more successfully reconnect with their community.
To donate please visit our website interfaithservices.org/donate and select “Matching Opportunity” in the drop-down menu.
Congressional Testimony:
Interfaith testified in front of Congress on behalf of our Veterans. #EveryVeteran deserves a chance to receive the benefits they are entitled. View our Congressional Testimony.
Kate’s Call for Change:
On average, S.S.I. is $1,000 per month, while a one-bedroom apartment in San Diego is $1,600. Help support the expansion of HUD’s Permanent Supportive Housing to account for this.
Reach out to your local representatives to voice your support.
“With stable housing and stable income, recovery is not only possible, it’s probable.”
Greg’s Call for Change:
Regulate rent prices.
“I’ve talked to people who’ve said ‘I got kicked out because I couldn’t afford my rent.’ That right there should be fixed. ”
