“I always had a family tree on my wall with my siblings, my nieces and nephews, and my parents. During this struggle, I wasn’t able to unpack and put it up because I was afraid. But now I have them up. I’m home now.”

When Success abruptly lost her job, she faced financial hardship that made it difficult to support her household. Through Impact46 and the Lawrenceville Response Center, she found resources and support that lifted a heavy burden, reminding her family that they are not alone

“We want to create a high standard for all our citizens and residents...We’ve also done a lot of research that non-congregate shelters are far more successful than congregate shelters. So, each man has their own independence.”
