How One Man's Vision is Changing Lives Through Housing

Giovanne Schachere is making a big difference in California and Washington. He leads groups that help people who are homeless or just out of jail. These groups give them medical help, housing, and support to stay on track. Running things in two states isn't easy. Each state has different rules and systems. But Schachere's teams handle it all while keeping their services strong and trustworthy. The goal is to help people find a home and keep it. They do this by guiding people through the process, connecting them with health services, and making sure they have what they need to succeed. Hundreds of people every year get a fresh start because of this work. Recently, they got a big grant of $1. 7 million. This money will help them expand their services, especially for those who need the most help. It's all about using public money wisely to get real results.Schachere's leadership style is unique. He has a central plan but lets each region handle things in their own way. In California, Anayanacy Rosillo leads the team. In Washington, Paul Hall, Meaghan Highwood, and Nafai Ferouzi work together to make things happen. This all started with Mysti’s Adult and Family Services. Schachere started it to honor his late mother, Mysti. She was an artist and advocate who believed in dignity and accountability. The group keeps her spirit alive by helping people in real, practical ways. Schachere also shares his thoughts on a show called The Giovanne Show. He talks about housing, justice, and leadership. It's a way to connect with policymakers and community leaders to tackle big issues. Schachere's work shows that community groups can be both caring and effective. He believes that with the right systems, public money can create lasting change, not just quick fixes. As the country struggles with housing issues, Schachere's model offers a way forward. It's a plan that works and can be copied to help more people.
