From Jan Samet O'Leary, current board member: "Over the course of my twelve-year association with Advocates for Homeless Families, the thing that has continually impressed me is that AFHF is a home-grown, grassroots organization, built and maintained by the Frederick community for the purpose of helping families from the Frederick community who are at risk of homelessness. We are not the local arm of a large nationwide organization, but a local organization acting locally, which, I believe, enhances our commitment to our mission as well as our effectiveness."
