She looks tired. Maybe it’s been a hard day.

But the reality is, she is one of many young adults who are living out of their cars often unseen and facing challenges that most of us can’t imagine.

Homelessness doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes, it’s a car, a parking lot, and someone simply trying to make it through another day.

Let’s continue to lead with compassion, dignity, and understanding.

Thames River Community Service is proud to be part of “We Live Here: New London,” an exhibit at the Garde Arts Center exploring the past, present, and future of housing in our community.

At TRCS, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Through safe housing and supportive services, we work with young adults ages 18–24, including young parents with children to build stability, independence, and brighter futures.

We are honored to be part of this important community conversation about housing and the people who call Southeastern Connecticut home.
