For nearly all of his life, Craig has struggled with mental illness. He’s lived with different family members scattered across the country,Ìýbut he’s never had a permanent home.Ìý

Craig arrived in Washington, D.C. in 2014 and for over a year he’s been sleeping outside near Farragut Square. A friend told Craig about Miriam’s Kitchen.Ìý

Craig is thriving because of the relationships he has developed at Miriam’s. He has a new sense of purpose, and finally feels like he belongs. He’s making good choices and thinking about the future.Ìý

The great news is that Craig was recently matched with the Permanent Supportive Housing program at Miriam’s Kitchen.ÌýTogether with his caseworker, Solomon, they’re tackling all of the necessary paperwork, bringing him one step closer to home.Ìý

Craig’s life is about to change.ÌýBut many of our guests continue to wait for Permanent Supportive Housing units to become available.ÌýThey’re counting on the D.C. Council to invest in this vitally important program.Ìý

On Wednesday, you can influence the Council’s decision.ÌýÌýThe steps are easy, and the time committment is minimal.Ìý
