For some OHRA guests, the path toward stability means more than finding a safe place to stay, it means finding a way to get somewhere they can call home.
Brooke P. became a guest at OHRA in May. During her stay, she discovered she was pregnant and began thinking about what she needed next. She wanted to return to her mother, who could provide a safe place to stay and support her as she prepared for her baby.
Through OHRA’s partnership with the Homeward Bound Program, Brooke was able to make that journey possible.
“Thanks to OHRA and the Homeward Bound program, I am flying home tomorrow to live with my mother,” Brooke shared. “While at OHRA I was able to get services I needed and even help with some legal issues. OHRA helped me stay safe. Thank you!”
Homeward Bound provides funding to help people experiencing homelessness—or people fleeing domestic violence—travel to a safe and stable home. The destination doesn’t have to be a person’s original hometown. What matters is that someone is waiting for them on the other end and that there is a stable place for them to stay and a plan for their next steps.
For Brooke, that meant a flight home, a safe place to land, and the support of her mother as she begins a new chapter. It’s a reminder that sometimes helping someone move toward stability means helping them find their way home.
