Monthly HART Highlight!

We are very pleased to have Gina Godoy on our team, as she recently completed her program with HART and is now a volunteer, helping us with the website, fundraising, and social media. Gina had lost her job in parks and recreation, her housing, her car, and ultimately her freedom. With the help of God, she google searched “homeless shelter” and contacted the first number listed which was HART. Gina patiently waited for a room to become available at the Bidwell Studios. Within a month’s time she was housed, and the rest is history.

Gina states, “I think transitional housing is truly a blessing for the unhoused folks in the community. It is meant to be a temporary solution to a seemingly long-term problem. The program helped me transition from being homeless to being housed.” She recommends HART to others who have the same need and says to give it a chance, as she thinks HART is a great non-profit. Additionally, she said to not be afraid to ask for help from your HART case manager because that’s what they are there for. Gina says providing case managers to clients could be a real game changer for the program and its success.
