HOW WE'VE HELPED

Danny is homeless.

Danny is a 19-year old homeless man who recently spent a week in an inpatient mental health facility.  He is being released from the hospital today.  How can an emotionally fragile person survive with no home and no support network? A Housing Specialist can assist Danny to obtain shelter and other available resources.
