“I don’t think I would be in my own place without the Mission. Once you’ve gotten into a reserved bed . . . you get to this point of, ‘Oh, now I can start thinking about tomorrow or next week.’ And that is what is so wonderful about this place.”

“I’m surrounded by a lot of good people who have faith in me and who I can come and talk to. I just feel more at peace with myself. It brings pride to know that I’ve made it this far.”

“This place got me off the streets. They gave me the stability to get things accomplished to get out of this situation.”
