HSC, Partners Help Desi End Three Years of Homelessness

Desi, who lives with a disability and uses a wheelchair, experienced homelessness for nearly three years. 

During that time, she utilized several services on the Campus and stayed at CASS off and on. Recently, HSC staff collaborated with multiple partners and found housing for Desi at Memorial Towers, an affordable rental community for seniors. Desi’s new home is designed to accommodate her disability. In addition, HSC Staff were able to furnish her entire apartment through the Flex Fund program and assist her in setting up the whole space set up to feel like home.

Desi’s journey demonstrates the power of collaboration. Her smile says, “I am home.”

Season 3 of McQuaid Mission is Here!

Episode 1 takes a very important look at the impact of flex funding on the effort to address the housing crisis in the Valley. McQuaid Mission co-producers and hosts, Amy Schwabenlender, CEO of the Human Services Campus (HSC) and UMOM CEO Jackson Fonder were joined by Richard Crews and Johnny Furtado from HSC to discuss disturbing data when it comes to the homelessness crisis and the best ways to help people stay in their homes or move from shelters back into housing. For example, HSC is seeking $1.5M per year to continue the successful Flex Fund program. To learn more, contact Amy at [email protected].
