We recently welcomed Representative Wesley Bell to Places for People for a closer look at our programs and services.

From behavioral health support to community-based care, our team shared how we’re working to meet people where they are and strengthen wellbeing across our region.

We appreciated the opportunity to spend time together and share this work!

This March, the West Pine Group Home will reopen as part of Places for People.

The nine-bed, state-licensed home provides around-the-clock support while residents practice the daily skills that support independent living.

Recovery often starts with safe housing and consistent support. West Pine is built for both.

Thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis for inviting us to their recent community event. We enjoyed connecting with local families and sharing helpful information to support their children and households!

Our outreach staff recently attended an event to connect with individuals experiencing homelessness and share information about available supports and services.

This kind of on-the-ground work helps reduce barriers and opens the door to care for people who may not know where to turn. Meeting people where they are helps ensure everyone in our community knows they’re not alone and that support is within reach.
