Chief Executive Officer

Carlos A. Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez brings over two decades of visionary leadership and expertise in the nonprofit and housing sectors to his role as CEO of Homes For Families. With a steadfast commitment to ending homelessness and creating pathways to stable, supportive housing, Carlos has a proven track record of driving innovative solutions and fostering impactful partnerships. 

Most recently, Carlos served as Chief Operating Officer at A Community of Friends (ACOF), where he managed a $14 million annual budget and spearheaded strategic initiatives to develop housing solutions, enhance wrap-around services, and implement tenant-centered property management approaches. This included building and managing nearly 600 Permanently Supportive and Affordable Housing units for formerly homeless Veterans and their families across southern California. 

Previously, during his tenure at PATH (People Assisting the Homeless), Carlos played a pivotal role in scaling the organization from 40 to over 800 employees and expanding services statewide.

Carlos’s extensive experience includes collaborating with government agencies, foundations, and community stakeholders to secure funding and ensure program sustainability. His dedication to evidence-based practices, diversity, equity, and inclusion has been instrumental in creating dignified environments for vulnerable populations.

Jonathon Wolfson

Jonathon Wolfson will resign his position on the Calabasas City Council effective Dec., 15. He is moving to Bell Canyon, The Acorn has learned.

Wolfson, a lawyer and former member of the city’s planning commission, was elected in March 2005 and re-elected in 2009. He served as mayor of Calabasas from 2009-2010. His term was set to expire in 2013.

“It has been a privilege and honor to be a representative of the residents of Calabasas on the City Council, Wolfson said in a statement.

“I have very much enjoyed my tenure and am proud of the many accomplishments made by our City Council during the last seven years.”

An Agoura High School graduate, Wolfson attended law school in Washington, D.C. before moving to Calabasas with his family in 1997. He served on the Calabasas Planning Commission for two years before being elected to the City Council.

“Although my family and I are sad to be leaving the City of Calabasas, we are looking forward to our new home,” he said, thanking the community for their trust and support.

“(I) know that this city will continue to shine and have a very bright future.”

Mayor James Bozajian said he will miss Wolfson’s expertise and professionalism.

“His intelligent, well-reasoned approach to the issues coming before us was a calming influence at many times when our debates often became quite contentious. In particular, Jonathon’s work in pre-analyzing our annual budgets and his service as our liaison to the school district was exemplary,” Bozajian said.

In coming weeks, the City Council will work publicly to decide whether the vacancy should be filled through an appointment or via special election.

“I’d like to look at all the options and then see what the choices are,” Councilmember Lucy Martin said. “Jonathon has been a dedicated and effective city council official with whom it’s been a pleasure to serve with.”

When Robert Sibilia resigned from the Calabasas council and moved away from the city in 2000, his seat was left vacant and not filled until the 2001 general election. In this year’s city election, Sibilia fell 200 votes shy in his bid to return to the council. Challengers Martha Fritz and Alicia Weintraub followed Sibilia in the voting and might also be potential appointees.

Bozajian said, “I have no intention of voting to leave (the seat) open. I don’t think the public is going to want that.”

A special election would have to wait until April 2012 at the earliest and could cost up to $50,000, The council is likely to save time and money by making an appointment.

The appointment will require votes from three out of the four remaining council members and must be made within 60 days of Wolfson’s departure, or the middle of February.

“I plan to ask the council to hold special meetings to discuss this. If an appointment is decided, we will seek applicants and interview them publicly,” Bozajian said.

Also to be considered is whether or not the council wants a caretaker appointee, one who will fill Wolfson’s term and retire in 2013, or someone who intends to run for a second term, Bozajian said

Mary Sue Maurer, who joined the Calabasas council with Wolfson in 2005, said she will miss her colleague’s kind and thoughtful personna.

“Some of my proudest accomplishments have been projects where I collaborated with Jon including developing a grant funding program for Calabasas schools and creating a number of disaster preparedness programs such as the drive-thru flu clinics and a special needs evacuation contact list,” Maurer said.
