Becca Stinson – Board Treasurer
Born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, Rebecca is one of five children raised by a very dedicated single mother who worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years. So she understands the struggle that comes from living in a single parent household on such a limited budget and the need for an organization like CDAIDE in this community. From the age of 18 Rebecca worked in the Health Care Industry as a Certified Nursing Assistant and after a few years of this decided to pursue and was accepted into the nursing program through North Idaho College. After careful consideration, 11-years as a C.N.A, and becoming a mother Rebecca left the Healthcare field and started working for St. Vincent de Paul in early 2015 as an Administrative Assistant under their Grant Per Diem program and steadily moved up from there. Once she completed her Associates in Life Sciences she went on to obtain her Bachelor’s Degree is Social Science’s through Washington State University Global. Rebecca is currently the Social Services Case Manager for St. Vincent de Paul of North Idaho’s H.E.L.P. Center and has been for the last 8 years.
Bev Moss – Board Secretary
Bev has lived in Coeur d’Alene for almost 50 years. She is a long-time community volunteer for
local nonprofits, including her church. Her volunteer work – including serving on the City of
Coeur d’Alene’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee and on the Arts Commission – has
given her strengths in event planning, fundraising, management and communication. Her late-
life career as a flight attendant brought home the realization that many people in jobs with
minimal pay struggle with basic expenses, especially housing. She was drawn to serving on the
HomeShare board because of her involvement with CDAIDE, the nonprofit that serves our local
hospitality workers.
James Curb – Board Member
Shortly after graduating from college I became homeless, staying in the back of a restaurant. A call from a college friend changed the course of my life when he suggested I return to college to get a masters degree to become a school counselor. After several years working in Idaho, I acquired a position in Coeur d’Alene. Not long after I began writing grants. One of the first was the McKinney-Vento Homeless grant. Then I was invited to apply for a 21st Century Community Centers grant which allowed for 4 before and after school programs in lower socio-economic schools. Not long after I was introduced to the Indian Education grant. On top of this I was given the responsibility of the Foster grant for the District. I am grateful for the opportunity and support to oversee these programs for nearly 20 years.
