Reflecting on June: Collective Impact in Action June reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, nine individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing . Each transition represents far more than a change in address—it’s a bold step toward stability, self-sufficiency, and a renewed sense of possibility. And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. In June: 91% of participants achieved goals related to obtaining essential documentation —a critical step on the path to employment, housing applications, and long-term stability. Over 60% of clients working to improve their employment situation made measurable progress , including maintaining current jobs, moving from part-time to full-time, completing job training programs, or securing new employment opportunities. But impact is also found in the everyday—the shared meals, the quiet encouragement, the practical skills passed along in our Learning Lab, or the moment someone feels seen and supported. Let’s continue building a community where opportunity is accessible, dignity is upheld, and forward is always possible.

From Crisis to Stability—Made Possible by You When James first stepped through the doors of Pathways, he was worn down—by time, by uncertainty, by the weight of being unseen. Recently laid off, one unexpected car repair had spiraled into a missed rent payment. From there, everything unraveled. He wasn’t looking for charity. He just needed a path forward. At Pathways, James found more than a single service. He found a web of care. Because our campus is home to 14 nonprofit agencies working together under one roof, James didn’t have to bounce from office to office or bus stop to bus stop. In one place, he accessed support for housing, job readiness, food, and emotional care. That’s the power of collaboration—and your generosity fuels it. By giving monthly, you help sustain this life-changing model. You keep the lights on. You make the shared space possible. You let every agency focus less on overhead and more on outcomes. Just $20/month can help someone like James move from crisis to stability—and from being invisible to truly seen. Your consistent giving creates consistent impact. Will you join us?
