It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of our former chairman, Clifford Goldman.

Cliff was a gifted individual of great character, intellect and compassion. He was able to bring his abundant talents together to passionately advocate on behalf of the homeless families and individuals of the Trenton/Mercer community, and guide and promote the development of the Alliance's nationally recognized efforts to end homelessness.

His great personal warmth and spirit infused the Alliance and its community and governmental partners with the zeal to develop creative, yet pragmatic, solutions that focused on using permanent housing to end homelessness, and reconnect our most challenged citizens with our community,

He will be greatly missed by us all, but forever remembered for his many contributions as a true public servant.

Cliff’s family has chosen to direct memorial contributions in his memory to the Coalition of Peace Action or the Mercer Alliance to End Homelessness.

Memorial contributions to the Mercer Alliance should be sent directly to:
