The South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless (SARAH) unanimously selected Ms. Brenda Mascorro as its next Executive Director. She succeeds Founding Executive Director Bill Hubbard.
“In the last three years SARAH has created community collaboration around efforts to effectively end veteran homelessness, increased funding for homelessness from the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) and implemented a community-wide coordinated entry system so that every person experiencing homelessness is prioritized for the right resource. As the housing market tightens, the challenge to find safe, affordable housing is a growing concern. Ms. Mascorro has the expertise and desire to tackle these complex issues and help all or partner agencies find solutions,” Craig Hopkins, SARAH Board President.
Mascorro’s background uniquely positions her to assume this post as SARAH’s second Executive Director. With significant experience in affordable housing, fund development, policy research and organizational development, she will advance SARAH’s current strategic plan to make homelessness a rare, brief, and nonrecurring event in San Antonio.
Mascorro has served on the SARAH Board of Directors since 2017 and through use of her life experience, professional experience and educational experience she will be a great asset to the broader community’s efforts to end homelessness.
The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce has been actively involved in advocacy work to end homelessness for many years, recognizing the vital importance of support that the business community provides in resolving this serious issue. Our very own Lori Stinson, Vice President of Military Affairs and Leadership Development, represents the business community as Vice President of the Board of Directors for SARAH.
