Now Donald is employed part-time  and states "Odyssey III gave me the opportunity to take my first step from homelessness to work and housing."

Homelessness came as a result of death in the family and loss of income for Patricia. At Odyssey III, she received food, clothing and has been placed on a job.  Patricia says, "This program has been a great turnaround for me after not worked in a year.  It's a great start!"
