Terrence has been in shelter for 30 days, and due to his consistency in meeting with the case manager and working towards his housing plan, he was offered a job with the shelter as a maintenance tech. As such, Terrence travels between the different facilities of the agency to make repairs, but needs a form of transportation to be able to get to and from easily. A bike and lock would facilitate him in being able to get to and from work daily, and would also mean an ability to get to and from work once he is stably housed.

Gregg has been in shelter for the past 30 days after becoming unhoused when his home was foreclosed on. He has reported losing "everything" as a result of a deep depression, including his employment and his transportation. A bike would help Gregg to be able to look for work outside of walking distance from the shelter, and would ensure that he would be able to maintain employment after finding stable housing.

Maeve has been staying at CARITAS Women's Emergency Shelter on and off for the past year. She has struggled with maintaining employment and qualifying for housing due to criminal history. While working with CARITAS, Maeve was able to get assistance applying for a housing voucher. She recently was awarded her voucher and has had much better success applying for units with the assistance of her voucher. This week she was approved for a one bedroom apartment of her own! As she prepares to move in at the end of this month, she has been saving for the move in costs and expenses that come with renting a place of her own. Your assistance will support us in allowing her to receive all of the household essentials that are required for moving into a new place, and things such as shower curtains, blankets, and a mattress.
