Antionette Jones
“I consider Common Ground as my life saver. I was homeless and I received a home through Common Ground as well as a job, a way to make a living and pay for my home.”

Billy Medina
“After what happened back in my childhood, somewhere along the line, emotionally I became homeless… I feel that community is the human family—when human beings are there for each other, there is light, hope.”

Hasheem Muhammed
“I’m so glad I have somewhere to go. It’s a nice apartment with a bedroom and a big kitchen…I feel blessed.”

Mr. K.
During the moving process, Mr. K. was clearly excited to finally have a place to call home.

“Louise”
“I don’t know what I would have done without Street to Home.”

Michael and Chris Oliver
“Michael and I had not seen each other in 10 years but always knew when we were thinking about each other. I don’t think I could have gotten through everything without him and vise versa.”
