Life never kept Dan S. rooted in one place. As his resources dwindled, the process of settling down seemed impossible. “I was an Army brat. My dad was a drill sergeant and we moved a lot,” says Dan, who enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at the age of 18.
For the last several years, he worked on construction crews and as a delivery driver. Yet in one of the nation's most expensive housing markets, he never had enough in his paycheck to save for a move-in deposit. Finally he got a referral to Homeward Bound of Marin.
“Living outside is hard. You have a million things to prepare for and you don’t know what’s coming at you,” Dan says. Our staff helped Dan secure a housing voucher to pay a portion of his rent and find an apartment.
“I couldn’t have done it by myself. Homeward Bound gave me the stability of not being on the street, not having that stress, so I could solve some things,” Dan says.
