Hope in Action 2008
This year's annual gala benefit—Hope in Action 2008—took place on October 23, 2008 and honored Casa Esperanza graduate and current Director of Supportive Housing, Eric Lozada, for his dedication and professionalism in serving others struggling with addiction; and long-time Casa Esperanza supporter Charlotte Golar Richie, Senior Advisor, Governor’s Executive Staff for her invaluable contributions as a leading advocate for the development of supportive, affordable housing for homeless individuals and families in recovery.
Thanks to our generous sponsors and supporters we were able to raise over $74,000 this year to help us “keep the Home in Casa” by developing and maintaining affordable housing and treatment services—including job counseling, training and placement—for homeless families in recovery.
