Quotes by Sarah Snyder

“It even surprises us, the number of people who work but live on the street. They cant afford first- and last-months rent for an apartment.”

“We believe the raw numbers are going up. Certainly, thats the impact were seeing on the facilities that provide services. Thats why were falling behind on the numbers of beds we have available for people.”

“We go anywhere we know where homeless people might spend the night.”

“We seldom have any beds open anywhere in the county.”

“Right now I am really ecstatic. I was so happy for (coach Bill Miller). Hes an amazing guy. Hes been with me for all four years, always encouraging me to do my best. To be the first one from my school to make it to state is quite an honor.”

“Every year Ive been nervous about learning new dives. Thats why my degree of difficulty is not that great. I learned new ones (this year) like an inward one and a half and a front double. That was a big stride for me. They are not the greatest or the biggest dives, but they got me where I am.”

“I consider myself a swimmer and a diver. I know what swimmers go through and what divers go through. Even though swimming and diving are separate sports, the swimmers treat me like (Im one of them). They are always there for me.”

“Its really critical that we act on this in a new way. The issue of homelessness affects everybody, and it was important for everybody to be at the table to think about it.”

“Its really critical that we address prevention. If we take everybody off the streets today, there would be new people on the streets tomorrow.”
