As a single parent, I was responsible for raising three children, while working two full-time jobs. During the past four years I have not been able to find a job, subsequently, for the first time in my life I became actively involved within the community in which I lived. I reside in a building of 134 units and last year theTenants Association elected me their president. Recently I became a member of Community Voices Heard whose members were once part of the workforce, but lost their jobs due largely to recession. CVH offers you the opportunity to voice your opinions, advocate for your rights and to improve the quality of life for your family.
Welfare reform needs to be changed so that it can meet the needs of families who want to progress.
CVH members are committed to achieving these goals. In June 1998, Violeta Enriquez became a member of the CVH Board of Directors.
