Easter Miracle on Easter Sunday when Supervisor Sundberg helps a family who recently became homeless


A facebook post from a Mckinleyville citizen illustrates the difference it makes when you have Supervisors invested and living in their communities. I have similar information about Virginia, Rex and Estelle but they don't publicize it, I don't usually, unless a citizen does.

Supervisors don't stop working at 5 p.m. Something the public forgets, sometimes.

"Just wanted to brag a little bit about our Supervisor Ryan Sundberg...he is a guy with a big heart and someone who was willing to go the extra mile...even on Easter Sunday.  Last Friday I met this nice local couple with two kids who became homeless when the house they were renting was condemned.  One of our local Churches had a Senior couple who offered them a recent year RV in excellent condition for a very low price.  The couple had a stable income...but if they paid for the RV they would need help making space rent for a month or two.  My husband and I own an RV park in Trinidad and that's how I met this family.  Our Park is full with a waiting list.  This family was the kind of sweet people who need a hand up...no drugs...no criminal record...and are members of this Church.  I  wondered could these people qualify for this Housing First program's funding or some other resource?  I ended up private messaging Ryan on Easter Sunday...he responded immediately...and even got ahold of his DHHS staff on Easter Sunday!  I contacted this family and they were in tears they were so grateful.  Ryan just emailed me confirming that this family qualified for DHHS's Cal Works funding....which turned out to be an Easter miracle...And please join me in thanking our Supervisor Ryan Sundberg who once again went over and beyond the call of duty!"
