Now, imagine you were looking into the eyes of this person:
"When she came to us she was living on the street. She was using drugs and alcohol, had recently been released from prison, and was in a mental health crisis!
Wow, she had it all!!
Since she has been housed, she has been approved for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), she has reconnected with mental health services and has a case manager she meets with weekly. She has been drug-free and is working on her alcohol addiction.
You can see a true difference in her. She just told me yesterday that she really cares about us and our office and enjoys being able to come in and have someone to talk to. She attends all of our Life Skills classes that are available to her and she's on track to successfully graduate from the program by the end of November."
These are the eyes of one of our housing clients.
