"The best feeling" Tiffany's Story |
Tiffany and her Case Manager, Zoey |
Tiffany moved into her first home in 2011, but transitioning out of homelessness isn’t always linear. Like many of us, her sense of stability depended on her surroundings—and the right housing placement made all the difference. With continued support and a home that truly meets her needs, Tiffany has found her footing. Thanks to Homeward Bound’s HACA program, she has now been stably housed for nearly two years.

“Homeward Bound never gave up on me. They never did. And it’s been nothing but great for me. I’ve got a sense of belonging. I have a sense of security. I call it my sanctuary, because I get to make decisions in my life today. I get to say who comes in and out of my house, and having that freedom and independence is just absolutely the best feeling. A euphoric feeling comes over me every time I put my key in my lock.” - Tiffany
