Familylinks’ Downtown Outreach Center and Shelter (DOCS) has been supporting young adults experiencing homelessness for 40 years, like Sheree*. After leaving her parents’ home due to abuse and neglect issues, Sheree didn’t know where to turn. After speaking with other peers experiencing homelessness, Sheree was directed to DOCS. While there, Sheree was able to begin processing some of her trauma and apply for employment. Sheree is currently in the process of locating independent housing. This World Homeless Day, we invite you to help reduce stigma and expand empathy. Consider donating to DOCS (www.familylinks.org) or another local shelter by volunteering or providing needed items. *Names and images do not represent actual clients of Familylinks
