Sonoma County Task Force For The Homeless - Calendar Of Upcoming Events -

Our elegant and thoroughly fun October in Paradise annual fundraiser is coming up on Thursday October 6th at gorgeous Paradise Ridge Winery, and we have some great surprises in store! Don’t worry we’ll still have the best silent auction around, and a spirited live auction of wonderful treasures, with Ernie Carpenter at the helm. This year we’ve completely re-vamped our buffet dinner however, and are planning some great new cuisine prepared and served by the students of the culinary program at Maria Carrillo High School.

In addition to involving youth in our event, we’ll be honored to present our annual Spirit of Service Award to Jenny Helbraun Abramson and the Marijke Byck Spirit of Community Award to Nick Stewart. Watch for our invitation in the mail and sneak previews of our exciting auction among your email messages.

The evening starts at 5:30 PM, with Doug Onstad on piano, and ends at 10 PM. Join us to celebrate the Task Force's 30th year working to end homelessness in Sonoma County! Tickets are $70 in advance and $75 at the door. To sponsor, order tickets, or donate an item for our auction, please click on the appropriate form below. You may also call Fawn Moran at 575-4494 or email her at sctfhmls@pacbell.net .

Who is CSH?
CSH strives for a day when homelessness is no longer a routine occurrence and supportive housing is an accepted, understood, and easy-to-develop response. In coordination with broader national efforts to end homelessness, CSH will help communities create 150,000 units of supportive housing during the next decade. In all of our work, we strive to address the needs of, and hold ourselves accountable to, the tenants of supportive housing. CSH brings together people, skills, and resources. We advance our mission by providing high-quality advice and development expertise, by making loans and grants to supportive housing sponsors, by strengthening the supportive housing industry, and by reforming public policy to make it easier to create and operate supportive housing.
