Tune in to hear from Simpson Housing's Steve Horsfield, Executive Director of Simpson Housing, and Christina Jacobson, Equity and Human Resources Director joining MACC's Program Manager, Laurel Hansen about their work to end homelessness one household at a time. They share how Simpson Housing is building a new shelter and housing space designed to treat people with dignity and help families move into stable homes. They focus on why paying staff a living wage matters and how fair pay supports both workers and the people they serve. Steve and Christina explain what “true cost” funding means and why government contracts should cover the real cost of doing the work. Together they highlight how fair wages, equity, and strong partnerships can lead to better outcomes for staff, participants, and the community.
