Pathways to HOPE (Housing) Homelessness: Homeless people are often shuffled from one shelter or service program to the next. The transition from the streets or shelters usually requires significant adjustments in routine and lifestyle. Similarly, homeless people often lose contact with their families and friends. Making new friends, paying rent, and becoming familiar with a new neighborhood are only a few of the many adjustments that most individuals will have to make. Some people who have been homeless for extended periods of time may have developed behaviors that served them well on the streets but are no longer necessary now that they have moved inside. Examples of such behaviors may include the hoarding of items or failing to bathe as often as necessary. Our pathways to hope housing is a intentional system of moving individuals from homelessness to housing and support services.
