Path for lasting freedom
The cycle of homelessness is real
There is rarely 1 cause to someone’s homelessness. To truly address the root causes of homelessness, people need access to:
Addiction treatment
Mental health counseling
Medical treatment
Dental care
Employment support and training
Financial education
Reliable transportation
And of course… safe housing
There’s good news…
Countless government and private agencies, medical providers, and more offer the essential services needed. But coordinating them all feels overwhelming. Individuals and families feel frustrated, hopeless, and miss out on the full treatment they need. As a result, many find themselves in a never-ending battle with homelessness.
At Wayfinders, we work tirelessly to help our clients avoid
- Never having a safe place to call home and rest
- Constant relapsing from drug and alcohol addictions
- Experiencing continual job changes
- Burning bridges with family and friends
- Always struggling to provide for their children
Everyone deserves streamlined services to achieve their own freedom
