WHY:
Dr. Covey is donating his time in the hope of sharing his message
with those who would otherwise be unable to attend, and to help
raise community awareness of InnVision’s programs for the
homeless.
"We
are delighted to have this opportunity to reach out to a larger
audience. There are many people, in and out of Silicon Valley,
who are unaware of the large numbers of homeless families and
individuals InnVision serves," says Christine Burroughs,
InnVision’s Executive Director. Event sponsors include KICU,
The Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, Pfizer, Eric Electronics,
and Abbott Laboratories.
It
is estimated that over 20,000 individuals will be homeless in
Santa Clara County this year. A recent poll found that 78% of
residents are anxious about the shortage of affordable housing.
InnVision
helps people who have become homeless to make lasting changes
in their lives, through a system of care encompassing emergency
services, transitional housing, job search assistance, mental
health services, and employment training.
