Council for the Homeless to welcome Sesany Fennie-Jones as their new Executive Director.
Council for the Homeless has named Sesany Fennie-Jones as their new Executive Director. Fennie-Jones will begin her role in late-September after relocating from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she led an organization that provides emergency shelter and supportive housing to women and children. Fennie-Jones is a collaborative and passionate leader, who brings key stakeholders together to improve outcomes of historically marginalized populations.
“Sesany brings a deep commitment to people experiencing homelessness,” shares John Kendrick, president of the agency’s board of directors. “She is eager to progress the CFTH mission through strong and healthy partnerships, advance equity in the Homeless Crisis Response System, and serve as a leader for our staff and board.”
When Fennie-Jones arrives at Council for the Homeless, her focus will be on leading the agency in preventing and ending homelessness in Clark County. “We must continue to help each individual and family resolve their homelessness in the wake of the pandemic, and amidst high rents and low rental vacancy rates,” says Fennie-Jones. “I look forward to working with staff, volunteers, partners, and community members to further the mission of CFTH and advance community-wide efforts to prevent and end homelessness.”
