What People Say About ECHO...
Hello, I’m writing this letter to express gratitude and appreciation for Cherisse Baptiste and the team at ECHO Housing for the approval of our requested rental assistance.Due to a set of unanticipated events, our small business had suffered significant setbacks and eventual collapse, and I was in the position of searching for a job as weeks, and soon months, went by without being to pay our bills, including housing costs.
After several failed attempts to secure grants, loans and other forms of assistance, we finally found the ECHO Housing website. A phone call and a couple of emails later, our application was completed and our case in the hands of Cherisse. I was surprised at how responsive and helpful Cherisse was throughout the entire process. I was also very impressed with how quickly the team worked at ECHO. Once our application was complete, we received regular follow-ups and approval in less than a month!
Cherisse was wonderful to work with, extremely friendly with my wife and I, and we are so grateful for the help she has provided. In addition to working through and processing our application very quickly, she also provided some very helpful budgeting guidance that my family and I will be able to use moving forward. We also want to thank everyone there behind the scenes at ECHO Housing for the much needed assistance.
With my new job, and the help provided by Cherisse and ECHO Housing, we are now on track to meet our financial obligations each month!
Thank you again for everything, we will never forget this critical assistance received at such an
important chapter in our lives.
Sincerely,
The A. family

I wanted to thank the representative who assisted with a recent...issue. What lasted three long winter months was fixed within five days after one call to you. I don’t know your name but know that I am incredibly grateful for the nameless person who works for this organization.

Good Evening, Margie ~
This is simply a quick note to let you know about the service I received. The apartment complex, ...in Dublin, was trying to charge me several hundred dollars over the current Market rate. The issue has since been resolved.
Cherisse Batiste was very helpful and was a great listener when I reached out to Echo. Her research was priceless and I got an education. I cannot be more pleased with the service I received -- KUDOS to Cherisse !!
All the Best,
S.C.

.Dear Margie-
Tonight I was on a Zoom call with Jonathan and my friend, H.N. who attended a HUD First Time Homebuyers class in January. I wanted to write and tell you what an amazing advocate Jonathan is for first time homebuyers trying to navigate the BMR housing market.
Homebuying is confusing and hard to understand to start, and the BMR process is even more so. Jonathan is patient and personable and does such a wonderful job putting applicants like H at ease with his gentle encouragement and explanations of what to do.
Thank you for the tremendous service your agency provides and especially the great job Jonathan does for the community!
Thank you,

Dear Ms. Rocha:
I wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude for the assistance and kindness I’ve received from Echo Housing and your team. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the angel-like efforts of Ms. Cherisse Baptiste, who provided guidance and emotional support during my times of direst housing needs. Thanks to her patience, persistence, and genuine care, I was able to remain and extend the terms of my current housing accommodations - a much welcomed source of stability in my life after the stresses of being homeless. Thanks to Ms. Cherisse’s intercession, and the generosity of Echo Housing and its funders, I am now current on my monthly rent in Livermore and no longer at risk of being evicted. I can also now focus on my financial and emotional recovery and on regaining a foothold towards my future.
May you and your entire organization enjoy the blessings of the positive impact that you’ve made in my life and in the lives of so many souls. I am deeply touched by your humanity and humbled by the kindness you’ve provided me.
With sincere appreciation and respect to you, Cherisse, and your entire staff,
Jose R.
