Kim & Justin are helped by Community Agencies Supported by Open Your Heart

A couple of years ago, a home seemed like a distant dream to Kim and Justin. Bouts of undiagnosed depression and severe anxiety sent Kim into a crisis situation. She lost her job and soon they found themselves homeless.

For a year Kim and Justin lived at Mary’s Place, a homeless program of Sharing and Caring Hands in Minneapolis — until a caseworker at Project Homeless Connect of Hennepin County put Kim and Justin in touch with Simpson Housing Services Program.

With the help of the Transitional Housing program and her Simpson advocate, Kim is being treated for her depression and anxiety. Today, Kim and her son Justin live in a cozy apartment in a tidy building on a quiet, tree-lined street in Minneapolis. They finally feel like they have a safe home to call their own.
