"Me and my son became homeless in October 2023. We arrived at the Booth Center in January 2024. The Booth Center has all the tools to become successful. The Booth Center offers great resources within the community. Me and my son had all of our needs met. The support from staff has been life changing. I am forever grateful to be part of the Booth family. We now have our own apartment. I am attending college, and working on getting my own transportation. I would recommend to anyone who is serious about changing their life for the better."
Testimonial
"My stay at the Booth Family Center changed my life for the better. I had never experienced so much support, care, and strength like I did from the staff at Booth. My daughter and I had to leave a domestic violence situation and stay in a hotel for a week before we found Booth. I was desperate and did not expect any comforts. With the resources available, and reassurance from Booth staff, I knew we would have the time we need to find a home. This made us feel safe and secure. Those feelings helped me to be present for my daughter and giver her all the care she needed. We found our perfect home, and are feeling happy and back to ourselves. Thank you to Booth staff for all of your support."
