Engaging, Equipping, and Enriching Neighbors and neighborhoods for mutual-sufficiency!
Shelter plus wraparound services to address root causes of homelessness
As 2025 comes to a close, I'm continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. I hope you find something new to enjoy—and please send any recommendations for me to check out!
