"Throughout my career I have experienced great joy in seeing places and people come alive in new ways. Housing and health care is a transformational combination. I feel alignment deep in my soul as we work together for lasting solutions to homelessness."

Cathy
Chief Communications and Public Policy Officer
Chief Financial Officer

"I've always considered myself to be a social justice advocate and CCH's mission of providing lasting solutions for people experiencing homelessness really spoke to me.  In one of the richest countries in the world, everyone should have access to safe, affordable housing and quality healthcare."

Pete
Pete Stoller
Chief Financial Officer

"I have spent the majority of my career supporting a diverse array of non-profit organizations.  In doing so I have focused on providing the professional support and resources needed for our front-line champions to provide service to the communities we serve.  I work to develop teams which work behind the scenes to insure the financial stability and operational success of the Coalition."

Lizz
Lizz Jackson
Equity & Administrative Executive

"The mission of CCH, joined with my personal belief in affordable housing as a human right, is what draws me to this work. As the CEAO, I have a solid desire to collaboratively build a work environment that sets the standard for equity and inclusion at all levels of the organization, resulting in a wholistic rewarding work-life balance. CCH has poised the CEAO position to make successful and sustainable diversity, equity, and inclusion changes that will allow CCH to emerge as a top place to work in Colorado."

Lisa
Lisa Thompson
Chief Program Officer

"Seeing someone's face light up when they move into their new home, hearing about how someone's life was transformed by the many services we offer, or listening to how moved my colleagues are when they see the positive impact of our work, really inspires me. I feel fortunate to work at a place where people are striving to make a positive difference in the world each and every day. I'm passionate about living a life with purpose and working here at CCH has been a part of that purpose for me."

Adam
Adam Mingal
Chief Legal Counsel

"Through my work in Washington, DC on behalf of lower income seniors, I learned firsthand how critical it is to have access to affordable, permanent housing. CCH's holistic model, creating not only more affordable housing stock but also funding healthcare and employment opportunities, made a lot of sense to me and is something I'm excited to be part of."

Jennifer
Jennifer Cloud
Chief Real Estate Officer

"I am passionate about our service to the most vulnerable of communities, our attention to supportive services, and our work in my home state of Colorado."

Louisa
Louisa Amott
Chief Human Resources Officer

"For me, our mission hits close to home having had family members experience being unhoused, and myself growing up in government housing. I have spent an entire career supporting people doing amazing things, and it is an honor to support those at CCH. 'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.'"

Eli
Eli Allen
Vice President, Housing Assistance

"The CCH mission resonates deeply with my unwavering commitment to effecting positive change within communities. Having experienced housing instability firsthand, I joined the Housing Assistance Department because it plays a crucial role in providing tangible and lasting housing solutions to many households within our community. This work is meaningful and transformative for those experiencing homelessness. I am dedicated to leading the Housing Assistance Department with a trauma-informed approach and overcoming obstacles to ensure a positive experience for everyone seeking housing assistance through CCH."

Jamal
Jamal Moloo
Vice President, Integrated Health Services

"I am deeply committed to the underlying mission and philosophy of the Coalition. Each day our staff enter our buildings and reach out into community settings, to provide housing and medical care in a supportive and compassionate manner to individuals facing incredible challenges. Few organizations in the country have the breadth of services and reach of the Coalition – it is a national model and it is a privilege to be a part of such an organization."

Andrew
Andrew Grimm
Chief Integrated Health Operations Officer

"As a leader in this country’s health care system, I strongly believe that health care is a fundamental human right, that housing is health care, and that no one should ever profit from the health status of another. These personal values strongly align with the Coalition’s mission and philosophy of service and my work at the Coalition allows me to have the unique opportunity to put these values and beliefs into action to support our neighbors in Colorado.”

Javier
Javier Huerta
Vice President of Property Management

"Joining CCH and sharing the mission has truly aligned with my personal and professional dedication to break down barriers for those in our community whether it is healthcare, advocacy, or assisting those supported to find and retain a place to call home."

Deanne
Deanne Witzke
Vice President, Community Services

"The work of CCH is both on the scale of the individual and the scale of the whole. We aim to dismantle the systems that create division, poverty and homelessness while working alongside those who are homeless to make the current moment a better one. The problems we try to solve are complex, but solvable, and that motivates me to work hard every day."

Ernest
Ernest Gilmore
Vice President, of Technical Services

"As VP of Technical Services at Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, I oversee strategic implementation of technology solutions to enhance efficiency and support our mission of empowering individuals experiencing homelessness."

Consumer Advisory Board

The Consumer Advisory Board (CAB) consists of a diverse group of people who utilize or have utilized the variety of services provided by Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH). The Consumer Advisory Board runs parallel to the Board of Directors, though multiple CAB members serve on the Board of Directors as well. The primary role of CAB members is to serve as a connection between CCH and consumers. The CAB reviews policies, programs, and other decisions that impact consumers and the organization to better serve the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The CAB also hosts several events throughout the year as a way to build awareness of the CAB and CCH. 

NOTE: A Consumer Advisory Board is a requirement of a Federally Qualified Health Center that receives Healthcare for the Homeless funding.
