A big part of Solid Ground’s work is grounded on building upon the strengths of the people who come to us for services. Everyone has personal assets that contribute to their own journey back to solid ground. And everyone has something to offer that can help make us a better, more responsive organization.
We started an Advisory Council of former clients to learn from their wisdom and experience, to make us a more culturally competent organization, and to provide an avenue for folks to claim their own leadership. Following is a brief video account about one of the members, Juanita, and why she joined the Advisory Council.

I met Jaunita on the bus to Olympia for Housing and Homeless Advocacy Day today and I want you all to know that she represented herself and Solid Ground amazingly. She is phenomenal and you all are blessed to have her on your team as your spokesperson.

Hi Lisa:
Thanks for the comment! Everyone who meets Juanita feels the same way, and we are honored to have her taking the truth to Olympia. A future issue of our Groundviews newsletter will take a more in depth look at Juanita’s story. We’ll post a link here when it is published!
