“The great thing about Housing First for women is that every woman decides for herself how she wants to live. Self-determination and empowerment are central to us.”

“I try to find exactly the right apartment for each woman where she can imagine living permanently.”

“The important thing is that it really works. I can only say of myself that I don’t feel alone. I have more strength. …[I]n the back of my mind, I know I have someone I can call who will be there to support me.”
