Union Station Homeless Services

When Emma and her three children arrived at Union Station’s Passageways Intake Center, she had recently lost her job and her apartment. She was hopeless and depressed because her family was forced to live in their van.

Our Passageways staff placed Emma and her family at our Family Center. Emma was speechless upon arriving. She couldn’t believe that she and her children could finally have a safe and secure place to live while they got back on their feet. They were model residents during their time at the Family Center: Emma consistently banked 70% of her income, regularly attended life skills and parenting groups, and worked with our Sources Career Development Program to secure a great job. With a little hard work and support, she was able to move her family into an apartment.

Since moving out of the Family Center, Emma has gotten married, purchased a townhouse, and has been attending school. She checked in with us recently to thank us for being so supportive and helping her look towards a brighter future.
