Support for Chuck Flacks’ Work

 

“Chuck led a county-wide effort to get homeless service agencies all rowing in the same direction. He was a strong facilitator and pushed forward innovative solutions. His work helped to expand the county's commitments.” — Bob Havlicek, Executive Director, Housing Authority Santa Barbara County

 

“I have had the honor and opportunity to work with Chuck Flacks over the last several years in the Santa Barbara Community addressing the urgent housing needs of our most vulnerable residents - from those precariously housed, to those who are literally homeless. Chuck is intelligent and takes a measured and consistent approach to tackling issues such as affordable housing and homelessness. Through our respective organization’s efforts, we have improved the lives of many in Santa Barbara.” —Rob Fredericks, Executive Director/CEO, Housing Authority City of Santa Barbara

“Chuck Flacks is a conscientious, strategic and compassionate leader who has the ability to connect and motivate people from different backgrounds towards common goals. As former Mayor of Santa Barbara, I appreciated and valued working with Chuck on the Central Coast Collaborative on Homelessness (C3H), connecting with local elected officials, homeless service providers, business leaders, faith based groups and philanthropists. Chuck brings passion and commitment to his strong work ethic.” —Helene Schneider, former Mayor, City of Santa Barbara

 

“While leading C3H, Chuck skillfully accomplished the hardest of all tasks: getting results in an organizational situation where he had all of the responsibility and none of the authority. He was especially effective working with numerous and varied stakeholders. He was knowledgeable, strategic and people universally liked working with him. He not only built C3H but successfully envisioned and transitioned the organization to a better place. A broad range of organizations could only benefit from Chuck's experience and leadership.” —Glenn Bacheller, Business Leader and Homeless Advocate
