COVID has resulted in the displacement of people from their homes, jobs and the lives they once knew. This was the case for Todd, who had trouble finding work and was evicted from his home. Things started looking up for Todd and his children when he got connected with Catholic Charities and stayed at the Emergency Shelter in Flagstaff, Ariz. With the help of his case manager and the Rapid Rehousing program, he was able to secure a place to live before his kids started school.
From fires and excessive heat to snow and freezing temperatures, seasonal dangers can be life-threatening to those experiencing homelessness. The PATH (Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness) program’s specially trained staff and volunteers meet those who are seriously mentally ill and experiencing homelessness wherever they are and connect them with treatment and housing.
