W’s Story

W first connected with Lake City Partners at one of our ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€, seeking resources and a safe place to stay. He joined us during our Winter Shelter season and stayed every night we were open. When the season ended, LCP helped him transition into Aurora Oaks Enhanced Shelter, ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€.

Over the next few months, our case management team walked alongside W, exploring housing options, making calls to landlords, and helping with applications. We saw his hope begin to grow with each successful step he took towards housing.

Then came the call he had been waiting years for: โ€œ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜†.โ€ In just a matter of days, W packed up and moved into his new home! Thank you to Seattle Housing Authority for making this connection.

Weโ€™re so grateful to have been part of Wโ€™s journey and couldnโ€™t be happier to see him begin this next chapter. Congratulations, W! Welcome home!
