Claudine Sipili - New Abode Board Member

We are excited to announce that Claudine Sipili - a Bay Area community leader - has joined Abode’s Board of Directors!

Claudine is the Director of Lived Experience and Innovation at Destination: Home, a nonprofit organization that convenes public and private partners to end homelessness. She served in the United States Navy and the Army National Guard before starting her work in the nonprofit sector. Her prior work experience includes developing and implementing programs to help unhoused individuals, families, and justice-involved populations to earn a living wage and find stable housing.

Her lived experience of homelessness, addiction, and justice involvement has developed her expertise for helping those in need, making her a champion of building compassion, disrupting status-quo systems, and helping sector leaders clarify our local community’s understanding of the root causes and scope of homelessness. Claudine is an active advocate for ending homelessness and improving quality of life for unsheltered individuals. She serves on the Santa Clara County Continuum of Care Governance Board, and as the Northern California Co-Chairman of the Statewide Lived Expertise Advisory Board.

Please join us in proudly welcoming Claudine to the Abode Board of Directors!
