Behind every statistic is a person whose life changed. Here are stories from residents who found their footing through shared housing and are now building brighter futures.

Marcus, 32

"Before Harmony Home, I was bouncing between motels and couchsurfing. I couldn't save a dollar because everything went to temporary housing. Within 8 months of moving in, I had my first savings account with $2,000. Today, I'm working toward my own apartment."

"I came from a domestic violence situation with literally nothing. The structure and stability at Harmony Home gave me the space to rebuild. I completed my certification, got a better job, and recently moved into my own place. This place literally saved my life."

"After my divorce, I lost everything. The residents here became my support system. I learned to budget again, rebuilt my credit, and last month I qualified for a car loan. Two years ago I had nothing. Now I have a future."
