Angela's Story

One individual that the city has helped find housing is Angela. Angela is a resident of San Rafael and had been homeless for nine years. She slept outdoors in places where no one could see her and felt as if she was invisible. She moved into the SSA in early July and committed to doing all she could to get into permanent housing using the resources provided through the SSA and slowly things began to change. In

September, she received the exciting news that she would be getting an emergency housing voucher. One month later, she and her dog moved into their own apartment in Terra Linda!

Angela hopes to help others like herself who are on the street by sharing her own experiences. Angela is one of many examples whose life has been positively impacted by the SSA and our community partners.

Mission Statement

We know that passion alone isn't enough when it comes to creating strong nonprofits. That's why we work with aspiring and established leaders every day to help them build the skills and connections that can take their impact to the next level. With confident and prepared leaders, our nonprofits will be better equipped to create healthy, happy communities. CVNL has engaged individuals in volunteerism continuously for more than 50 years and expanded to Napa county in July 2014. Every day, passionate individuals like you dedicate their work to advancing our communities, vulnerable populations, natural landscapes, and cultural institutions. But without the critical know-how in operational essentials like fundraising, board governance, and volunteer recruitment, their causes may fall short of their potential. CVNL brings local leaders the expert guidance and professional resources they need to build resilient, impactful organizations.
