Chanell’s Story

When Chanell, 37, found herself homeless after the end of a toxic relationship, she turned to LSS Faith Mission for help.  “I got a warm feeling here,” she said. “It was welcoming.”  Chanell was pleased about how clean and secure the facility is, the quality of the meals, and the breadth of resources available.  Faith Mission has helped her obtain identification documents, the Resource Center is helping her with employment and education, and the Health Center is taking care of her physical and mental health needs. Chanell is upbeat about obtaining permanent housing soon and pursuing her dream of becoming an esthetician with her own shop. “Faith Mission has been a good thing,” she said. “It’s been encouraging.”
