"We were never alone"

"It provided stability...."

This enriched our lives and our children's lives! Many of the young women benefitted from having this program in their life."

"By taking care of these young women who didn't have a place to live, we were part of the community solving an important problem."

"With an agency involved, we were never alone. There was always someone to call if we had an issue."

"It added to our family in a very safe way; we have wonderful memories of this time in our lives."

"It was much more than a roof over my head....."

"Living in a home that was apart of the host home program was so much more than a roof over my head. A host home meant I could focus on school without home stressors; it gave me peace of mind knowing I didn't need to worry about where dinner would come from. But more importantly, it gave me the safe space I needed to work on my family relationships."
