When Human Impact started out, we came to listen and learn. As we listened, we learned that many long-term homeless people’s stories of homelessness start with the loss of their support system. Divorce or death of a spouse, child, or loved one create a destabilization. Our unique response to this destabilization is to come alongside the chronically homeless, becoming a long-term support system in their lives. We choose to love the chronically homeless, a group that is often forgotten and marginalized.
