Summit Housing
& Outreach Programs
Summit Housing & Outreach Programs (under the name of Summit House) was created in 1981 in response to the
desperate need for supportive affordable housing for people with diagnosed mental illnesses.
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Sharon Kay Paris on June 6, 2026. Sharon’s loss is deeply felt across our organization and within the many communities she touched. Our thoughts are with all those who knew her, worked alongside her, and were supported by her compassion and care. In her role as Peer Support, Sharon exemplified empathy, resilience, and unwavering dedication. She stood alongside individuals during some of their most challenging moments, offering dignity, understanding, and strength. Her advocacy and commitment made a lasting impression—not only on those she supported, but also on every colleague fortunate enough to work with her. Since joining our organization in 2014, Sharon made an extraordinary and enduring impact. Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched, the partnerships she fostered, and the community she helped strengthen. We recognize that this loss may be deeply felt. We encourage everyone to take the time needed to reflect, grieve, and support one another during this difficult time. To learn more about Sharon’s life and legacy, please visit her obituary:
