HOMELESSNESS doesn’t always appear as you would envision it. Some people who are homeless have full-time jobs, are clean-shaven and well-spoken. Others have a high school diploma or college degree, but have been victims of circumstances beyond their control. Some are teenagers or college students who are known as “couch surfers.“ Some are single mothers who are escaping domestic violence. Others are married couples who have lost their jobs and have found themselves to be down on their luck. And some might be struggling to make ends meet because of a devastating medical diagnosis such as cancer. The scenarios are endless. ALL of these people have a story. HOPE Calloway seeks to listen to these stories and show compassion to our friends and neighbors who are facing homelessness by helping them along their pathway to success.
