Mayor Gary Davis, John Foley (Sacramento Self Help Housing), and Assembly Member Richard Pan

City of Elk Grove Mayor, Gary Davis, received the Community Partner Award at The Sacramento Housing Alliance’s 2013 Awards Dinner on Wednesday night.  The award was presented to Mayor Davis by John Foley from Sacramento Self Help Housing. 

Mayor Davis spoke about the partnership between the City of Elk Grove, Sacramento Self Help Housing and Elk Grove Food Bank Services that helped generate the transitional house in our community. 

Moving to Grace House

It has been a lot of work for many groups and organizations and a long wait for our clients to be able to move in to the first transitional house in the Elk Grove area.  Now our homeless clients have a temporary home to use as they work their way out of homelessness and back into a more normal life.

EG Food Bank clients Robert Cosgrove and Robert Cloud stopped by to pick up groceries to stock their kitchen pantry in Grace House.  This first transitional home in Elk Grove will provide the formerly homeless Cosgrove and Cloud a stable environment in which to work on securing employment and returning to a more normal life.  Instrumental in Cosgrove’s and Cloud’s progress, PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) member, Ed Kelly, was present to provide transport for the men and their groceries.
