COREY IS HOUSED!
When he first came to GRACE, Corey was focused on saving up his money and was nervous about having his own home. Corey wasn't sure if he was ready, but once he began working with his Housing Specialist, he decided it was time to have a place to call home. Because of his courage and dedication, Corey is HOUSED and can work toward his dream of attending music school!
Before Corey moved into his new home, he thanked everyone he worked with at GRACE for helping him on his journey to housing.
NICOLE IS HOUSED!
Nicole came to GRACE after her previous living situation fell through, and she had no other options or ideas on where she could live. Nicole worked with our Street Outreach Team and our Housing Specialists, dedicated to finding her own space! Within two weeks, she had not only secured a job, but a place to call home too! Nicole told one of our Outreach Specialists, "I had no idea places like this existed. I went from sleeping on a bench to picking out throw pillows, and I am so grateful for everything you all do."
MITCHELL AND KAREN ARE HOUSED!
Mitchell and Karen had been living in their apartment for the past six years. That was until their rent was raised and they could no longer afford it. Suddenly, they had to leave their home and navigate homelessness. Mitchell and Karen both have serious health conditions and came to GRACE simply seeking somewhere to have a good night's sleep. They each worked with our Housing Specialists and were able to secure a new home with the help of Elder Options! Now, Mitchell and Karen are HOUSED and can focus on their health!
