"a charismatic, committed and effective community leader...

... The quality of the staff and program at Cottage Housing are a tribute to Robert's tenure over the past decade. He built our program into one of the most successful homeless services organizations in the Sacramento region, if not the nation. Our participants graduate at a rate of more than 80 percent, transitioning from the streets to self sustainability, from tax-taker to tax-maker. Robert built that program."
