Please join us at our Monday, May 14, 2018 support meeting of PFLAG Sedona/Verde Valley as we host our guest speaker, Angela Lozano of Angie’s House, a non-profit organization in Cottonwood that provides housing for qualified residents impacted by addiction, homelessness and mental illness. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Church of the Red Rocks, located at 54 Bowstring Drive in Sedona.
Also at our meeting, we will also be awarding scholarships to students who have won the Jackie “Gringa” Richardson PFLAG Scholarship. Please join us for the scholarship presentation.
About our speaker:
Angela Lozano is probably best described by her own words from the Angie’s House website:
How We Began
In 2000, when we opened Angie’s House, it was because I felt critical housing needs were not being met for the homeless, mentally ill and addicted/disabled community. We began with two converted homes in the Cottonwood, Arizona area which were used for the homeless community. Soon after, we were fortunate to be able to expand our services to assist the addicted and disabled community. Another component which was not being addressed was housing for individuals impacted by mental illness.
Expanded Services
In 2006, we were able to expand our services to do our part in the community to help this issue. Angie’s House is now a 10-home community serving the Northern Arizona area, though still based in Cottonwood. And still run by my husband and myself! If you, a friend, or a family member is struggling with any of these issues, please know we are here to help. Call us with questions! If we do not have the answer, we can probably connect you with someone who can. Wishing the best for you and your family.
All are welcome to hear Angela Lozano, a supporter of our own PFLAG Sedona/Verde Valley chapter, speak on Angie’s House during our May 14 meeting!
The second hour of our meeting will include our usual support group sharing and discussion session.
