Success Story
Katy* came to Becky’s Place in July of 2020 after completing an inpatient rehabilitation program. Katy had called Becky’s Place for months before deciding to complete the intake and become a Becky’s Place resident. Katy had been homeless for her entire adult life, spending 7 years sleeping in a car, crashing on someone’s couch, or sleeping outside. Katy brought her 3-year-old son with her and was learning how to be a stable parent.  

Katy continued her addiction recovery programs at Becky’s Place. She found employment and signed her son up for daycare. She started saving her money and was eventually able to purchase her own car. With help from her father, she was able to purchase a mobile home and put it on his property. Katy put in a lot of work for the camper to be livable including digging ditches, replacing flooring, and making repairs to the heater. 

Katy was able to move into her own home on December 1, 2020 and end her 7-year struggle with homelessness. She is extremely proud of herself for learning parenting skills, how to budget and save, and owning her own home. She thanked the staff at Becky’s Place for assisting her on her journey and teaching her the skills to live independently.
