This , we're celebrating one of our own. 💚

Kerry Beth Cottingham, LMSW, Director of Grants Administration, brings her social work values into every grant proposal, every funder conversation, and every strategy session — ensuring that the work we do for Houstonians is not only funded, but purposeful.

She leads the full grant lifecycle at Family Houston, translating our mission into measurable impact and helping unlock the resources that keep our Mental Health Counseling, Financial Stability Coaching, and Community Support Services going strong.

"I believe that social workers belong in every room where decisions are made."

This month and every month, we're grateful for you, Kerry Beth!
