She is never afraid to ask questions and goes the extra mile to ensure that families have the resources they need to navigate through homelessness and achieve sustainable independence. Brittnee arrives every day with a positive attitude and takes a “whatever-it-takes” approach to achieving the goals of the mission,” said Erica Ward Cherry, Senior Case Manager. “We are thrilled to have Brittnee as an official member of the Family Promise team and look forward to witnessing the amazing work she is capable of.”
