They are advocates and collaborators seeking to ensure that the necessary systems, resources, and tools  that support housing stability and economic mobility for families and individuals.

The CHAPA gala was virtual a virtual event, but Governor Dukakis  wanted to be with Amy, so they had a lovely reunion with the Governor's wife, Kitty Dukakis. We are all so proud of Amy's lifetime achievement and grateful that her career landed her at 2Life Communities.
