At Encompass, we are committed to listening deeply, bearing witness, and taking action toward racial and social equity at every level of our organization. We invite you to join us in pausing to reflect and honor two deeply significant celebrations for our black and LGBTQ+ communities - Juneteenth and Pride Month. In this month's newsletter, we share a deeper look at just a few of the initiatives we are driving across our agency to expand our understanding of systemic racism, identify areas of growth, and deepen our engagement in this important work. We also highlight Pride celebrations you can partake in throughout Santa Cruz County! Get the full scoop in our June newsletter here. 

We have a lot to celebrate at Encompass this month! Get the full scoop in our May newsletter here. Learn how our Encompass Payee Services team supports more than 500 community members with their financial needs every year; get a sneak peek at how the new Unite Us online referral system is poised to help community members access the full range of services our county has to offer; hear from our Director of Community Projects about her 30+ years in public service; and welcome new faces to our leadership and program teams!
