Program Graduate, Now Peer Counselor
"When I walked out of prison after 8 years, I had nothing—no home, no job, no hope. IRN didn't just give me housing; they gave me back my dignity. Today, I'm not just housed—I'm home. I have a career helping others, and most importantly, I have my daughter back in my life."
Journey: 8 years incarcerated → Housed in 30 days → Employed in 6 months → Peer counselor in 2 years
Single Mother, Small Business Owner
"Living in my car with my two kids was the lowest point of my life. IRN's Housing First approach meant we had a safe place to sleep that very first night. Their employment program helped me start my catering business. Now my kids see their mom not as someone who struggled, but as someone who succeeded."
Journey: Homeless with children → Housed immediately → Business training → Thriving catering business
Military Veteran, Recovery Advocate
"Twenty years of addiction and homelessness stole my life from me. IRN's trauma-informed approach helped me understand that my addiction wasn't a moral failing—it was my way of coping with what I'd seen in war. They saved my life, and now I help save others."
Journey: 20 years homelessness → Trauma therapy → 3 years sober → Leading veteran support groups
College Graduate, Youth Advocate
"I aged out of foster care at 18 with nowhere to go. IRN's youth program gave me more than housing—they gave me family. Their educational support helped me graduate college. Now I work with other foster youth, showing them that their past doesn't define their future."
Journey: Foster care → Homeless at 18 → College scholarship → Youth program coordinator
