New executive director at Safe Harbour
I am Perry Goddard, and I am deeply honored to step into the position as the new Executive Director at Safe Harbour.
Two weeks in, and I’m still learning the ropes—but I don’t expect the learning to stop anytime soon. I am fully aware of the responsibility before me in carrying Kath’s (Hoffman) incredible legacy forward, and I’m heartened by the strength and compassion of the Safe Harbour team that Kath has so carefully nurtured.
In these past weeks, I’ve had the privilege of meeting with community stakeholders, leaders, and our partner organizations. This will remain an ongoing priority because I firmly believe that we cannot meet the complex needs of our most vulnerable community members if we operate in silos. With a long history in community development, I understand the critical importance of cooperation and collaboration. I look forward to strengthening our existing partnerships and identifying new opportunities to work together.
I truly believe that by coming together, we can collectively move the needle on homelessness and its devastating impact on our community.
