Mari DeBlois

Mari DeBlois has always worked hard to support the mission of The Way Home for over 17 years. She has lead the agency in innovated programs and services as a HUD certified Housing Counselor. When the Pandemic hit  she didn’t miss a beat – she worked on creating a platform to deliver a financial literacy class from in person twice a week to via Zoom twice a week. The new platform has created a new way to share information and collect data. It has also created additional work to manage the program without/limited volunteer assistance because of the safety during COVID-19. Mari has served as the lead in reporting of data to HUD, training staff, teaching financial literacy class, and maintaining client workload. We have not seen a slow down to those in need that are homeless or at-risk and because of Mari’s passion we have been able to continue to deliver those services in a safe way.
