Karen came to Couleecap homeless and living in her car. With the help of Couleecap’s Homeless Prevention Program she received motel vouchers.
With a roof over her head, Karen began to think about her future. She applied to Couleecap’s Supportive Housing Program. With help from a Couleecap Case Manager, Karen subleased an apartment and set personal goals.
Karen has a disability. Couleecap’s Social Security Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) Program helped Karen navigate and apply for Social Security Disability benefits.
Karen is just one Karen volunteered at Couleecap’s Monroe County Food Pantry as a way to give back to the program and services she benefited from. Today, Karen has stable income, secure housing, and community support.
