Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing (IAHH)
06/2022 to present: I am working as a Monitoring and Evaluation consultant for IAHH's Life Skills program. IAHH is a coalition of religious organizations and individuals working with and on behalf of homeless, poorly housed, and at-risk individuals in NYC. The Life Skills Empowerment Program is a faith-based program that pairs homeless individuals with community partners in congregations to help them navigate homelessness, and facilitate getting into a home. I put together and am executing a holistic plan to evaluate and document the effectiveness of the Life Skills Empowerment Program by looking at its impact on the participants, congregation, and the community at large.
In March of 2023, we will be starting our Lifeskills Program at Broadway Presbyterian Church, and I will facilitate the movement and body awareness part of each session.
