Homeless no more

Housed after 30 years In the LA Times article written by journalist Steve Lopez, you can read how new Step Up resident John J. was homeless for 30 years. Every other attempt for housing with him had failed for three decades. Step Up’s support is allowing him to succeed in housing. In each of Step Up’s permanent supportive housing communities, we find that it can take up to six months, sometimes longer, for tenants to make the transition from living on the streets to living in their home. There may be boundary and territory issues to be worked out between the tenants as they move into housing. These tenant-to-tenant issues are worked through with our trained staff, and there is very little spillover into the local neighborhoods. I’m happy to report that some 90% our residents do succeed. If you didn’t see the articles, here’s the link:

    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!

    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.
