BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS

Our mission focuses on providing men and women, who have suffered from homelessness, with a safe home and helping them gain vital skills to live healthier and more self sufficient lives.
Our #1 priority is supporting our clients so they can maintain their housing. That's a significant goal since the majority of the individuals we serve have been homeless for at least a year, some as long as a decade or more. This past year, 75% of our clients-163 of 212 individuals-remained housed throughout the year.
For the 3 out of 4 of our clients who have experienced mental illness and chemical dependency, key is learning how to manage their chemical and mental health. Last year, 89% sustained their sobriety or reduced substance abuse. A similar number were involved in services to help them manage their mental health.
As Janice puts it, "Cabrini is helping me to learn how to live...and putting a lot of brightness in my life."
