Finding a Stable Home
After experiencing homelessness for four years, mostly living out of his car, Greg reached out to CRC for support in finding stable housing. In April 2024, Greg connected with CRC’s Rapid Rehousing program and began collaborating with his case manager to find a place to live in Oceanside—a community where he felt at home and could continue seeing his trusted doctors.
Despite facing barriers including partial blindness, limited English proficiency, and navigating a lengthy SSI application process, Greg never lost hope.
With a past eviction and poor credit history, finding traditional housing proved to be difficult. But Greg, with the support of his CRC case manager, Kim, explored creative solutions. Together, they found that shared housing could be the answer. Greg identified his priorities and needs, and CRC supported him in finding a welcoming shared housing arrangement.
This new living situation brought more than just a roof over his head—it provided community and stability. The location allowed Greg to stay close to his trusted doctors, while also being within walking distance to a bus stop and grocery stores. Now, Greg is able to focus on his health, well-being and building financial stability for the future.
Grateful for the support and a safe place to call home, Greg shared this with his case manager:
“I’ve made it to my new home. Thank you for everything you are doing for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so grateful for your time and all your help. You are like a guardian angel.”
