Ellen Groh, 2022 citizen of the year

Our 103rd Annual Meeting culminated with the presentation of our most prestigious award, the Citizen of the Year. This year's award was presented to Ellen Groh, Executive Director of the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness.

“Ellen stands among the most effective leaders fighting homelessness in the country,” wrote Rosanne Haggerty, CEO of Community Solutions, a national organization that works with more than 100 communities across the country to reduce homelessness. As its leader, Ellen Groh has drastically expanded Concord Coalition to End Homelessness’s ability to provide critical, sometimes life-saving, services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
