Dr. Robert Ratner Director of Housing for Health and I were pleased to meet the board of CFSC, Inc. who champions affordable housing for vulnerable groups. This latest venture is the remodel of a former group home into a 21 bed affordable housing model for transition age youth.

Foster youth have some of the highest rates of homelessness nationwide and in our community. This setting will provide a safe and soft landing to launch youth into adulthood. Providing this space will help to further educational goals and realize dreams.

Congratulations to Karen Delaney, longtime Executive Director of the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County, who was honored at this year’s Be the Difference Awards for the extraordinary legacy she leaves after more than 40 years of service to our community.

Karen’s impact on Santa Cruz County is impossible to overstate. Through her leadership, the Volunteer Center became a true force for good, connecting thousands of volunteers with organizations, families, and neighbors in need across the County.

Congratulations as well to all of this year’s honorees — the volunteers, nonprofits, businesses, and community groups serving youth, seniors, animals, disaster survivors, and neighbors facing difficult times.

The Be the Difference Awards are a powerful reminder that Santa Cruz County is strengthened every day by people who show up for one another with generosity, compassion, and care.

Thank you, Karen, and thank you to all of the 2026 honorees for helping make our community kinder, stronger, and more connected.
