People experience homelessness for many reasons: lack of affordable housing, job loss, mental health concerns, the death of a loved one. ⁠In the time of COVID-19, these obstacles become all the more challenging.⁠

When Sharon left her unhealthy marriage behind, she suddenly found herself alone and struggling to cope with buried mental health challenges. ⁠

Then she discovered GlobalGiving partner N Street Village.

Soon, she was surrounded by an incredible network of people dedicated to providing structure and stability back in her life.⁠ With their support, Sharon was able to find employment and prioritize herself and her health for the first time in years. ⁠

⁠Sharon shares:

“Despite everything, I feel a sense of stability. With the support of N Street Village, I recently got a promotion at work and have been fortunate enough to work remotely through the COVID-19 pandemic.”⁠
