St. Vincent de Paul transitional shelter helps homeless adults return to independent living
St. Vincent de Paul's Ozanam Manor is hosting an open house to show how it is helping homeless adults, who are disabled or those over the age of 50, return to independent living.
PHOENIX, AZ, March 11, 2009 /Religion PR News/ -- Everyone stumbles in life and sometimes they need a hand getting back on their feet. For a vulnerable segment of the homeless population — the disabled adults and those older than 50 — that helping hand comes from St. Vincent de Paul's Ozanam Manor transitional shelter, 1730 E. Monroe St.
With assistance from professional case managers, shelter staff members, mentors, and each other, the residents develop a written plan to achieve their goals. They receive job skills development, resource referrals, group activities and mentoring in a stable community environment. Last year, more than 145 people received help from Ozanam Manor.
Learn more about Ozanam Manor's residents and services during an open house on Saturday,
March 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Residents will be on hand to share their stories and
Director Mike Bell — a leading expert on homelessness — will be available to discuss the shelter's programs.
