Stamford, CT — Pacific House is proud to announce that Elizabeth King has been officially promoted to Director of Homeless Shelter Services. 

Elizabeth holds two master's degrees in recreation and leisure administration from Southern CT State and social work from Fordham University.  She began her career with Pacific House in 2015.
