Maurice’s Success Story

Maurice’s journey is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of our Workforce Villages program! Once facing the same housing challenges as those he now helps, Maurice, a justice-impacted individual, struggled to secure stable housing despite his full-time job. With his dedication, our support and essential life skills classes,  he saved $4,800 in 90 days and found an affordable apartment using his own funds. Today, not only does he have his own place and serves as a Shelter Supervisor, helping others on their path to stability. He shared some of the lessons the program imparted so he stays self-sufficient and the newest member of his family he adopted from a local shelter that brings joy to his life.
