Please join us in celebrating the success of one of our clients, John.

John is a Veteran who lives in the Anchorage area who recently fell on hard times. He worked at Lowe’s but had a hard time making rent for a little over a year and a half. During this time, he was living in a motel and experienced unstable housing conditions.

Eventually, John was connected with one of CSS’s case managers through a Veteran crisis hotline. The case manager helped John find an apartment in town, a donor through a Catholic church to provide a vehicle, and a job for parks and rec work. John was also connected with healthcare navigation to ensure he is able to address some chronic health issues which he has not been able to take care of for some time.

John is hoping to be enrolled in vocational rehab so that he can pursue his dream of becoming a social worker and giving back to his community.

This is so exciting !!! Perhaps this is a beginning of a greater appreciation of “Laudato si.”

By restoring habitats with reverence and gratitude for our Creator, the program draws people closer to God and his Church while protecting the integrity of creation.’

Yesterday we opened the doors of the 3rd Avenue Resource & Navigation Center to our neighbors for the first time! This week we are practicing a “soft” opening and training our staff. We are very thankful for the patience from our first clients from Brother Francis Shelter while our staff learn how to best serve our clients this week. Our first client shared his review of the private shower as “Magnificent”! ❤ We will be fully operating and open our doors to the community starting next week, Monday February 27th at 10 am!
