As much as our clients are thankful and appreciative of what we do for them and the changes we’ve made, they also change us in many ways that I am thankful for.”

Diandra

“It is incredible how a program like this can change a person’s life. It provides the feeling of having a place to sleep, shower, and to be safe at night. It’s just priceless. Being a Case Manager and helping people change their lives has been the most rewarding experience ever.”

Ignacio

“Before joining our program, Juan lived in a treehouse made from wooden planks and scrapped tarp from the street. He shed tears of joy when notified he was now ready to start the housing process and begin touring available options.Tears of joy were shed again when he signed the lease — his first permanent home in quite some time.

Now housed, the resources and care given when working with Juan throughout this process have inspired him to one day start a non-profit organization of his own to help individuals and families get back on their feet, just like we could help him.”

Nala

“Kathleen had been through numerous housing programs and made sure to point out how impressed and grateful she was with Strive’s efforts to find her housing.”

Arlene

“After struggling through various programs and losing hope, Marshall joined Strive, where building a connection proved difficult at first. However, as he engaged more deeply, he learned to trust the case management team. With their unwavering support, he gradually opened up to and embraced the program. Today, Marshall stands as a shining example of how perseverance and the right support can help anyone overcome their challenges and achieve success.
