After leaving home at the age of 17, YS spent many years sleeping on friends’ couches. Not wanting to lose shelter for her young children, YS reached out to Doors of Change for support. Doors of Change was not only able to provide rental assistance, but provided groceries, diapers, and helped her pay back electric bills. Doors of Change case managers also helped connect her to county assistance programs for long term rental ❤️ Thank you to our friends at Doors of Change for providing support to so many people in our community!
