This month our clients have been very busy working on all sorts of things. We start with goals described to our team as a next step or something needed. #1 is improved self-care. We encourage those we serve to recognize the importance of taking care of themselves. It's a most-important life lesson we all must continuously hone. Second desired item is housing. It's unclear the future of housing. Wait lists are long, HUD funding being debated, and availability very limited. Twenty years ago, clients relied on boarding houses and rented rooms paid for with wages more than supported housing. We may be seeing the pendulum swing that direction again. This typically means more time spent on the streets than if transitional supported housing is available. But such housing typical has a price tag to taxpayers of $1000 or more per month. We'll see how the public debate goes... we may be seeing a return to insistence on more self-support. Luckily, employment is the #3 most stated goal of clients. They recognize that they need to work. Employment has been relatively easy to establish until recently. Now we're seeing people trying for some time without call-backs and offers. Things have definitely seemed to be slowing for employment at entry level. Mental health help is next on our left. It is a significant misunderstanding that all ore even most homeless are mentally ill. They are almost all traumatized but once safety is reestablished, we normally see the majority recover. The trauma and high stress express itself as anxiety, lack of focus, lethargy, etc. Same for any of us. We're always proud of the entire that appear at the bottom of our chart. They often represent things that take more maturity and growth to set sites on. They are goals that builds on others, often. Childcare, medical treatment, sobriety milestones, activities in church community. And yet they are there and desired by our awe-inspiring clients.
