â¤ď¸SUCCESS STORY SUNDAYđ
Imagine turning 18 and having nowhere to go.
For too many young folks in West Virginia, aging out of the foster care system doesnât mean gaining independenceâit means facing homelessness. Without family support, affordable housing, or a safety net, many are forced to navigate adulthood alone. Some end up sleeping in their cars, couch surfing, or staying in unsafe environments simply to have a roof over their heads.
At Homes For Harrison, we believe no young person should have to face that journey alone.
Our mission is to provide hope, stability, and support to individuals experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness in our community. Whether itâs emergency assistance, connections to vital resources, or helping someone take the first steps toward a stable future, every life we touch matters and that's exactly what we did!
We were able to sit down with this young lady, discuss things that were going on in her life, come up with and execute a plan. We assisted with employment and housing applications, ordered the appropriate documents that were needed and helped with a Security deposit to secure a unit once she was approved and her name came up on the waiting list of the local Housing Authority. Because of the waiting list she was forced to stay in a shelter but eventually she was able to get into housing. She has now been able to attend college and has part time employment
A safe place to call home can change everything. It creates the foundation for education, employment, healing, and hope.
You can be part of that change.
Your donations, volunteer efforts, and continued support help Homes For Harrison provide critical assistance to those who need it most. Together, we can ensure that aging out of foster care doesnât become the beginning of a lifetime of hardship.
Because every young person deserves more than just survivingâshe deserves the opportunity to thrive â¨ď¸
