Homelessness Prevention Program Just in time! Stopping homelessness before it starts.
We’d all prefer to have our lives planned out a few steps ahead, but there are times when the future looks desolate, and God shows His hand—just in time! Noy is a single dad living in Pasadena, and a few months ago he found himself in a
situation where it felt like the walls were closing in. He and his son and younger brother needed to vacate the place they’d been living in, but Noy had been sick for a month and a half and had not only fallen behind on rent but didn’t have enough saved for that “first and last month’s rent” he knew he’d need to move.
It wasn’t as if there was anyone else to rely on. Noy’s mother died when he was 15, and he never knew his father. Frequently working twelve hour days, he’s been the “glue” holding his family together, and it looked as though the three of them were about to experience the devastation of homelessness. Then, a friend who’d also been helped by our Homelessness Prevention program told him he should contact Door of Hope. Noy says that the financial literacy classes and advice he received at Door of Hope have given him a strategy for saving and a vision for investing in his future. He is grateful that there was a program to help him get there, and to help others who are on the edge of homelessness.
“God stepped in just in time to keep us from being homeless,” says Noy. “We had to be out of our place on November 4, and Door of Hope made it possible for us to pay rent on a new place available on November 3. It was such a blessing.”
