September Goals Clients Are Working Toward

 At a Glance — Top September Goals Set

• Self-care: 35 clients
• Housing: 24 clients
• Employment: 19 clients
• College & Mental health treatment: 7 each

 Big Growth in Self-Care

• 35 clients set self-care goals (up from 20 in August).
• Examples: eating better, calming routines like music, or surrounding yourself with supportive people.
• Why it matters: self-care builds the energy, focus, and resilience needed for every other goal.

 Housing Still in Sight

• 24 clients set housing goals (up from 17 last month).
• Even with shelters and lists full, clients keep naming housing as a top priority.
• Persistence is the first step—keeping housing on the radar matters even when systems feel stuck.

 Jobs Are the Key

• 19 clients set employment goals (steady compared to August).
• Right now, jobs are gettable—and we believe jobs are the real key to unlocking housing.
• SYMin is leaning in with:
  • Soft skills training (interview practice, teamwork, communication).
  • AI & internet productivity tools to build readiness for today’s job market.

 New & Emerging Goals

• College (7) and mental health treatment (7) became stronger areas this month.
• ID/document goals (6) also grew, showing clients are working on essentials that unlock other opportunities.
• Smaller but important goals surfaced: child care, family reconciliation, benefits, eye care, dental treatment, and more.

 Final Word

This month shows that clients are building from the inside out: self-care first, housing and jobs next, with education and documents adding long-term stability.
