Representative John Garamendi of California’s 3rd Congressional District held his 4th annual Women of the Year event on Thursday, October 19. Honorees included 38 women who have made significant contributions to their communities. Among the Women of the Year honorees was Caminar’s Director of Supported Housing for the Solano Region, Tranine Chisom.

Passionate about improving support for people with mental health disabilities and those who experience housing challenges and homelessness, Tranine has dedicated her career to community service. She works tirelessly with property owners, and city and county officials to increase and leverage affordable housing resources for our most vulnerable citizens.

Tranine is also actively involved with Housing First Solano, where she serves as Board Chairwoman. She was instrumental in developing and now implementing Solano County’s Neighbors Helping Neighbor-Forward Together 5-Year Strategic Plan to address homelessness. As well, she is actively engaged with the Solano Napa Habitat for Humanity program; she participates as a crew member on community building days and also serves on the Family Selection Committee to identify families most in need of a Habitat Home.

Tranine is a humble and passionate person dedicated to serving her community. We are so happy to celebrate her accomplishments and this well-deserved honor, and we are grateful she is a part of our Caminar family.

Thank you, Tranine, for your dedicated work to help people obtain and maintain housing and to create systems change.
