"Due to these life circumstances, uncertainty, and isolation, Jackson Street assisted me by helping me re-identify my short term and long term goals for my future. My Case Manager Curtis helped me by achieving housing and employment."
"Curtis and I worked together until we found a great deal at an apartment where I wanted to live, and now I am living there. At the time when I submitted this apartment application I had heard of a raffle that could allow me to win free rent. I decided to submit my name into the raffle and I actually won a year's worth of free rent. Just my luck!
"When I got to my apartment, I felt relieved. I've had a lot of struggle with my finances for the last few years, so having this kind of stable housing is something I really needed. I currently don't have a job but I am using this time with Curtis to enroll in an employment program through the Community Service Consortium in order to help me find a job that I can sustain and is more centered on my interests.
"Jackson Street has given me many opportunities to do things I didn't know I could do. I appreciate all the help given to me by the staff!
Every day that young people experience the stress of housing and educational instability represents a missed opportunity to support healthy development and promote successful transitions to adulthood. Together, we can make sure we don’t miss this opportunity – not even in 2020.
