Please welcome Carrie Evans, Director of Government Relations, to Health Care for the Homeless.
Carrie comes to Health Care for the Homeless from the LGBT equality movement. Most recently, she led the state’s LGBT civil rights organization, Equality Maryland, and was at the helm when marriage equality was achieved in 2012. She remained with the organization to help ensure passage of a statewide transgender anti-discrimination law in 2015. Prior to joining Equality Maryland, Carrie worked for the largest LGBT rights organization in the nation, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
“I am hard wired to do social justice work and it is my life’s work to use my skills and experience to advocate for change,” says Carrie. “Health Care for the Homeless is an organization I have admired and respected since moving to Baltimore 11 years ago and it is an honor and privilege to be able to be part of this dedicated and passionate community.”
Carrie is looking forward to seeing everyone in Annapolis for Lobby Day 2017 (mark your calendars now for Thursday, Feb. 23) and helping ensure that the voices of Health Care for the Homeless staff and clients are front and center when policy makers are deciding issues that affect people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
A few fun facts about Carrie:
- Though born and raised in Canada, she hates winter.
- The 1992 Honda Civic she has owned “since birth” turns 25 in January and she believes it can and will live forever
- Her favorite novel is the Color Purple and her cats were/are named Sophie, Celie and Shug
