Tackling Homelessness by Restoring Health, Hope, and Housing

Before joining COLARC’s program, James had been chronically homeless for several years and suffered from substance abuse throughout his experience living on the streets. James was determined to lead a new life. We paired him with home health and linked him to a local recovery center for SUD. The team worked with James to make sure he did not miss his SUD appointments, physician visits, and that he was always present for his home health visits. Eventually, James was physically well, and desired to find a job. We helped him with job applications and assisted with transitioning him to a Sober Living. James completed his stay at COLARC- he was healthy, had a new job, a new place to live, remained sober- a new life.
