Freeholder Blanquita Valenti of Middlesex County was honored last night by Triple C Housing, one of the Advocacy Network’s member organizations. We were pleased to be able to attend this event. Not only was it a pleasure to help celebrate Triple C Housing’s 30th birthday, but it was an honor to see Freeholder Valenti being honored for her commitment to ending homelessness and support of the Homeless Trust Fund.
For three decades Triple C Housing has provided “quality comprehensive residential services and affordable housing with flexible supports designed to assist individuals in achieving their fullest potential while exercising freedom of choice.” They have been an active member of the Advocacy Network since our inception.
