Their Story
I am interested in communications about efficiency and difficult conversations...
on what and we perceived the issues and what other. Methods can be applied to change improve and be responsible. I am passionate about the work of trauma informed care and harm reduction methodology and philosophy and it's real world applications with a humanist approach. I have been training Peer Support specialists for close to 8 years , I am a certified Mental health recovery counselor lead , case manager , social worker , I have worked in the fields , in the camps , in the streets , for non profits , for closed facilities, today is my 21 st year clean and sober , Ihave received the diagnosis of CPTSD , I am currently experiencing Homelessness due to a series events , loss of renewal of contract due to end of year fiscal restrictions, my roommate moving out and my wife now ex moving in with roommate out of state , DHS taking 4 months to give me my clearance, the totality of these and the incredible financial hardship, I stumbled and found myself without work home or partner ...yet the insight of this lived experience has given me even me more drive to support those who are suffering everyday . Any and all your support helps me maintain a certain basic care for self , gas money to drive to volunteer and tend to self and others . I am in desperate need of a safe place , a room or a piece of backyard , or a bit of a garage till I lock down some employment. Regardless I am working diligently on my well being and those we serve and care for. I am ex military from France and did the Balkans war of 91 through 94 . Unfortunately I do not qualify for housing because it has only been 9 weeks and employability is not considered in the current model of priority for emergency housing , 23%of the current homeless and employable with over 78% success in returning to a active participation of life ...yet I am told I must wait another 3 to 6 months ...so my only solution is to return to work ASAP . My name is Leo thank you for your care. My goal is being part of the solution while also taking a real look at ourselves first before pointing the finger , never giving up.

Immediate Need
Dear Supporters, I am in need of a job, I have been told that I am over qualiified for postitions that match my skills. I also feel since I am homeless there is a aire of judgement if job responsiblities I would not be able to meet. I do have a vehicle, and at times I run out of gas. This tends to short stop me from being able to transport myself where I need to be. Although I do try to prioritieze my meetings with my case manager who gives me support towards my endeavors.

During this unprecented time, it's never been more important to help them find a safe, stable, supportive place to sleep at night.
We find that when we wrap a social home around someone, they gain the capacity to often find the physical home soon after.
You are invited to join one or many who seek to find a home this year.
