getting people to recovery
Assisting the houseless and hoarding communities in
new ways.
From navigating the social services, shelter, and mental healthcare systems — to support during forced home clean-outs — our specialized Peers are there to connect, support, and guide.
About Us
We strive to assist the houseless and hoarding/cluttering communities in new ways.
Kimberly works as a Lead Peer Mentor in the mental health field, providing support for those recently discharged from mental health facilities, facilitating connection to the County behavioral health system, and linking them to community resources.
In 2016, Kimberly volunteered with affordable housing advocacy groups in Orange County working with people who were unhoused. This work included advocating for affordable housing policy on the city, County and State levels along with direct services where needed. She continues that work today.
In 2013, Kimberly joined the Orange County Task Force on Hoarding as a volunteer. As of today, she Chairs the Executive Board. Through that work, she has helped others in a number of ways, including presentations at conferences to educate and spread awareness, one-on-one help, liaison services, and running recovery-oriented workshops.
As someone coming from a trauma background, including a period of houselessness as a teen, Kimberly understands the importance of a Peer who understands. She is motivated by a passion for changing the systems within which we find ourselves, and by the importance of spreading empathy and dignity.
She believes that the bonds that are created with Peer recovery can be profound and change lives.
