This March, the West Pine Group Home will reopen as part of Places for People.

The nine-bed, state-licensed home provides around-the-clock support while residents practice the daily skills that support independent living.

Recovery often starts with safe housing and consistent support. West Pine is built for both.

Our outreach staff recently attended an event to connect with individuals experiencing homelessness and share information about available supports and services.

This kind of on-the-ground work helps reduce barriers and opens the door to care for people who may not know where to turn. Meeting people where they are helps ensure everyone in our community knows they’re not alone and that support is within reach.

Every January, communities across the country take part in the Point-in-Time Count to better understand how many of our neighbors are experiencing homelessness.

Being counted matters. It helps shape funding, services, and the resources our region receives, and it depends on people showing up with care, time, and attention to make sure no one is missed.

Thank you to the volunteers and partners who helped ensure this count reflects the real people and real needs in our region.

Our staff and clients gathered on December 19th to honor and remember the lives of those who passed away while unhoused in 2025.

Together, we held a moment of silence and memorial in recognition of each life lost.

As December 21 marks the longest night of the year, we pause to reflect, grieve, and remember those we have lost this year.
