LEA THULLBERY
Director of Diversion & Outreach
Lea began her relationship with CwD in 2013 as a volunteer organizer for the Overflow Shelter, and immediately identified outreach work as a passion she did not even know she possessed. In the summer of 2015 she left her full time job to find out all she could about the systems that supported our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
She is a founding member of the non-profit and thanks to a grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Trust leads CwD’s Case Coordination and Street Outreach Program.

John joined CwD in the fall of 2019 as Program Director for the Community First Center. He brings more than 20 years experience in the Human Services field to the team. John is responsible for stewarding several programs for our community members experiencing homelessness as well as volunteer training and learning opportunities to equip volunteers for the work of building community to support those in our community who are struggling with homelessness.
CARLOS TOLBERT
HEARRT Peer Support Specialist
What brings Carlos the most joy in being part of the CwD team is being present and walking alongside people in our community on their individual journeys. He first got involved with the Overflow Shelter as a volunteer overnight monitor in 2013, and has worked as a monitor at First Presbyterian every year since.
In May of 2019, Carlos joined our staff as a full-time Peer Support Specialist to help launch the HEARRT project.
KRISTA O'CONNELL

Krista also helps support the HEARRT project and transitioned into her current role October of 2020.

Emily officially came on staff in 2020 as the Communications Specialist. She delights in this work and our people and finds joy in the shared relationship with our community.
STACY STOUT
Organizational Administrator
As natural born 'people’ person, Stacy was immediately drawn to the mission of City with Dwellings and is excited to utilize her background as an Executive Assistant to help fulfill that mission. When Stacy's not working hard to help find operational efficiencies in the office, she's most likely working hard up at her mountain land building barns, sheds and woodpiles. She is thrilled to be surrounded by a group of dedicated individuals who are laser focused on helping some of our most vulnerable community members.
