Help Give Heroes a Home!

Step Up
November 10, 2015

Dana H. is a veteran of the United States Navy and a member of Step Up.

In a recent interview, Dana said, “If anyone would have told me nine years ago that I would be homeless at the age of 51, I would have responded, ‘No Way! I have a good job, a place to live and nice life. I am a responsible person! It will never happen to me!’”

At that time Dana was a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, working for a treatment and recovery center. She passionately believed in helping alcoholics and drug addicts get clean and sober because of her own experience with drug addiction when she was younger.

The Cigna Santa Monica office participated in a company-wide drive in support of women's health for National Women's Healthcare Week in May. The local office designated Step Up as the recipient of the women's hygiene products collected. The products are available for any Step Up member who needs them. Thank you Cigna Santa Monica for thinking of Step Up and your generous in-kind donations!

"Taking people directly from the street, putting them into housing and wrapping rich, supportive services is effective, and that's what [they] want." - President & CEO Tod Lipka on Warley Park, our upcoming permanent supportive housing community in Seminole County, FL Wendover Housing Partners

Concept to decrease homelessness under construction in Seminole County

Wolf said homeless people cause financial problems for police, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Getting them linked with the social services that can make them more productive will reduce the current burden on those resources, officials say.

“We decided to make the housing unconditional...To say, look, you don’t need to solve your problems before you get a home. Instead, a home should be the secure foundation that makes it easier to solve your problems.” - @JKaakinen https://t.co/dtiqpEPFax
