On Monday, after we made the decision to close the program center for the week due to COVID-19, there were 4 youth scheduled to start working at Keys to Work via a partnership with Pourhouse. Case Manager Devin and Anthony Dumas, Director of In-House Programs, decided that we had to keep the promise we had made to get them there for their first day. The young men were at Outreach happily and eagerly waiting on Monday morning and Devin transported them to Keys to Work with precautions - maintaining distance and sanitation. The guys received bus passes and will begin their first full day today!

Just yesterday, ARCH case manager, Lydia had been texting with a youth that had been displaced from two different housing situations in the last week. All of her clothing and her laptop had been left during one of the times she was kicked out. Lydia had the ability to pick up her personal items and deliver them to her new living situation without interacting with anyone. She met a huge need for this youth, but was able to do it within the social distancing parameters that are currently in place during this pandemic.
You can make a huge difference during this season! Outreach case managers are doing everything possible in the current climate to reach out to homeless youth and provide hope.
