After working with SAWC’s Shelter Diversion team, “S” was able to secure housing and begin a new chapter. What started with a temporary sleeping arrangement eventually became a home of her own, and with support from community partners, her new space was furnished and ready for her next steps.

S.’s journey is a reminder that when people have the right support, resources and opportunities, meaningful change is possible. At SAWC, we’re proud to walk alongside people as they work toward stability and housing.

Your support helps make this possible!

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

We remember the lives lost to overdose and stand with the families, friends, and communities who continue to feel those losses. We also recognize the importance of compassion, support, and access to resources for those affected by substance use and overdose.

Safe, stable housing and a supportive community can make a meaningful difference. 🏠💜

Whether you can give a few hours, lend a hand regularly, or help during the winter season, your time matters.
