We are excited to announce two new additions to the CFTH executive team! Renee Cavazos and James Gonzalez have both been promoted to key leadership roles.

Renee Cavazos, formerly Director of the Continuum of Care, has been promoted to Vice President of the Homeless Response System (HRS) Planning and Implementation! Renee initially joined CFTH in September 2016 as a project coordinator. As a director, she oversaw the strategic planning and implementation of various programs designed to support individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Renee was also responsible for leading the annual collaborative application funding application (NOFO) for our system to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and managing the annual Point-in-Time Count. Notably, she has successfully enhanced performance metrics while system improving outcomes and led fundraising efforts that significantly increased the system’s resource pool by identifying new grant opportunities and helping increase foundation gifts.

In her new role, Renee hopes to continue driving progress and innovation within our system while fostering a consumer- and customer service-oriented approach. She is also committed to working with local governments to balance our efforts to effectively address homelessness.
