Kelli has been engaging in systems change work since 2012 and is incredibly passionate about the power of working together to make a difference. She is a native to northern Colorado and has a Masters in Applied Sociology from Northern Arizona University. Working for many years with victims of domestic violence, Kelli saw firsthand how barriers to permanent housing keep people in cycles of violence and poverty. Kelli became the Director of the Northern Colorado Continuum of Care in January 2022. She is encouraged every day by the passion and dedication that so many people in Weld and Larimer counties have to end homelessness. She can also be found cycling, backpacking, enjoying live music, and generally taking in all the wonderful experiences life offers.

Rachel is the HMIS System Administrator for Northern Colorado. She began working for Homeward Alliance in 2016, where she first served as an intake specialist at the Murphy Center.

She discovered her passion for data in 2020, when Northern Colorado became their own Continuum of Care, and found herself assisting with migrating the Homeward Alliance data into the Statewide HMIS.

Christine Koepnick has called Colorado home for the past six years. She received a BA in History from the University of California - Davis, and a Masters of Public Health from Colorado State University. Through her work in public health, she witnessed firsthand the complexities of the health care system and barriers that prevent many individuals from accessing affordable, quality care and has sought to learn the skills necessary to improve community health outcomes from a systems level approach. Most recently, Christine has been involved in system level efforts to address housing insecurity and homelessness, including overseeing housing programs for chronically homeless single adults. She looks forward to overseeing system improvements across Larimer and Weld Counties to further advance efforts to make homelessness rare, short-lived and non-recurring. In her personal time, Christine enjoys cooking, baking, traveling with her partner, Christopher, and spending time with their two dogs, Brooklyn and Doug.
