Our guest this week will be Stephanie Day, Executive Director of CATCH.
CATCH exists because everyone needs a home. We work to create a safe, healthy, connected community by embracing Housing First best practices, empowering those without housing, building collaborative partnerships, and increasing public understanding to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. Our vision is to end homelessness in the Treasure Valley.
Make sure you're available this week for the Airport Tour! We have arranged for the Airport managers to give us a behind the scenes of the facility from noon to 1:30. We'll have Panera box lunches. From the main terminal, go to the Payette Room. Bring your parking ticket for validation. Please let Mary know you're coming, as space is limited. (I have been on this tour with another group. You won't believe the miles of conveyor belts!)
