Stacy is one of program participants who connected with a case manager after completing a Community Connect assessment. Stacy lived at an encampment in Washington County with her husband for many years, until her case manager helped her find an apartment to move into.
“I’m so excited I can hardly see straight. It’s like, for real? Is this really real? Yes it is, it’s real,” Stacy said, reflecting on the upcoming move. She’s looking forward to simple comforts like making dinner in a Crockpot, taking baths, and cuddling with Ed. Ed points out that the transition to apartment life will be a big one, but he’s confident they can get through it together.
