Stepping Stones - April 2025

Your Support Fuels Fresh Starts

Spring is here—and with it comes a renewed sense of possibility. At C-U at Home, we’re stepping into this new season with purpose. After the long, cold months of winter—often the hardest time of year for individuals experiencing homelessness—we’re seeing our clients begin to take bold steps toward healing, stability, and growth.

Thanks to your support, we’re able to provide the real, everyday services that make fresh starts possible: safe shelter, access to case management, life skills coaching, and a consistent, caring presence along the way. Whether it’s help navigating the healthcare system, preparing for employment, or setting and tracking weekly goals, we’re there to walk beside each person on their journey.This month, we

I’ve been reminded that progress doesn’t always look dramatic—it often shows up in small but meaningful ways: a ride to a job interview, a clean bill of health from a new care provider, or a successful check-in during case management. These moments are the building blocks of transformation.

When we meet people where they are—with practical tools, consistent support, and the opportunity to take ownership of their next step—change starts to happen.

Thank you for being a part of this work. You’re helping create pathways to progress—one step, one service, one life at a time.

Meet Dani: From Unstable to Unstoppable

Dani (name changed for privacy) came to C-U at Home with nowhere to go and no one to call. A survivor of domestic violence and years of housing instability, she was ready for a fresh start—but she didn’t know where to begin.

With the help of our team, Dani found more than a bed—she found support, encouragement, and resources. Through the Pathways to Progress program, she began setting small goals: securing an ID, attending counseling, and applying for jobs. Each milestone gave her new confidence.

Just a few months later, Dani is now working part-time, saving money, and preparing for her next phase. Her journey isn’t over—but it’s moving in the right direction. And it started with one brave step.

I truly enjoy seeing people getting help and turning their negatives into positives. Your Pathways to Progress program is making lasting changes to people’s lives. I want to help efforts to treat the underlying causes of homelessness.
