Monet Silva, MPAED, NM Coalition to End HomelessnessMonet Silva is a force. In her 16 years working with health-based and social justice nonprofits, her experience runs the gamut. While at one point she was providing health care in rural Honduras, these days she is focusing her energy on running the NM Coalition to End Homelessness and supporting its partners. The coalition – 70 organizations across the state – recognizes that homelessness is a public health crisis, and in working toward solutions, they are providing a continuum of care, meeting people experiencing homelessness where they are in that moment of need. Monet’s leadership is visibly elevating advocacy toward good policy. She know that good policy work lays a better foundation for generations to come and that the outcomes of this work are personal to folks navigating the system. It’s personal to her to stick up for others. It’s personal to her to build better systems and be cognizant of how she approaches this important work. In this convo Monet also shares why she loves traveling and building her personal library of educational and joyful books. She’ll also remind us that taking rest seriously allows us to do good work. Indeed, we agree. Learn more about the NMCEH here: https://www.nmceh.org/
