Please join us in appreciating the winners of our quarterly Employee Recognition Program! Each quarter we celebrate BFHP staff members who go above and beyond to help us carry out our mission. 

Fatima Fuentes, Senior Program Manager, SSVF Bay Area Region 

Fatima has worked diligently to improve and implement better processes at SSVF program. She frequently exceeds expectations in being a team player, as demonstrated by her willingness to share her learnings and create and facilitate several training series for fellow team members. Fatima has redefined what it means to be a team player this quarter! By rolling up her sleeves and jumping into action to support staff and programs, supporting high-need clients, and resolving issues with property owners while remaining professional, positive, and humble. Fatima always advocates for her team, and her client-focused thinking helps to ensure BFHP consistently provides quality services to the most vulnerable people in our community. Fatima, Thank you for all that you do!
