]]> I began working as a volunteer, visiting patients on the back wards of the
huge “mental hospitals” that existed in the late Fifties. As the transition
to the modern system of community residence and community-based services
began, I helped to found the St. Francis Center in Denver (perhaps he first
purpose-built day center in the nation) and was a volunteer and board member
there until about 20 years ago. I have volunteered for a variety of Boulder
agencies, including The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless and St. Benedict’s
Health and Healing, as well having many roles in non-profit governance,
given by backgrounds in law, finance, accounting, and administration. I
helped to found BOHO, a sheltering agency in Boulder staffed entirely by
persons of lived-experience, and directed it for several years until it was
merged into the Bridge House, where I continue in a strategic role. In my
professional life, I had jobs in just about every section of a
high-technology or communications company, and retired from that about
twenty years ago. I am a licensed attorney. I am a founding member of the
Colorado Safe Parking Initiative, and I also work with the Food Security
Network, Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, the Homelessness, Housing
Precarity, and Disaster Network, and Haven Ridge.

]]> The Rev. Bill Kirlin-Hackett has directed the Interfaith Task Force on Homelessness (ITFH) since 2004. The ITFH, fiscally hosted by St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Bellevue, works in King County (and beyond) to “create the political will to end homelessness,” largely via advocacy, education, capacity-building within faith organizations, and direct service. The current ITFH work revolves around persons living in vehicles, and educating around passed State Legislation clarifying the rights of faith organizations to host the homeless on their property. Bill is married to Susan, recently retired as Lutheran clergy. Their son Micah and spouse Ale have 2 children, Noah age 11, Jeremiah age 7, who all live nearby.
