So far this month; We’ve had the privilege of helping 24 people get their birth certificates.
This initial step is significant in assisting people to move from homelessness to housed, employed and self-sufficiency.
On average, each month about 20-30 of our residents get much needed identification.
Five lucky women in CCO’s Naomi House shelter for single women got pampered at Infiniti Hair & Nail Salon in Chicago. The salon graciously offered to give the gift of beauty to all the women with birthdays in May. Thanks Infiniti!
Join us in congratulating Lisette! She and her little boy will be moving into permanent housing today. We are especially grateful to Lisette for allowing us to include her picture in our Mother’s Day letter. Enjoy your new place, Lisette!
“In the dead of winter, 65 homeless men were left to wonder if they would continue to have their beds.”
