What is Home?

“Home.”

It’s a word that can carry layered meanings for each of us. We’d like to share a beautiful reflection on the idea of HOME from our incredible Resource Navigator, Elena, who has recently completed her MSW practicum with us and who has offered SO MUCH support to our Window of Kindness community over the course of her time with us.

“In the last eight months, the meaning of home to me has truly grown. I have had the pleasure of joining our Window of Kindness and working alongside our clients every day. Our staff, volunteers, and clients work tirelessly to ensure that the Window of Kindness is a welcoming community and space where everyone can be their best and most AUTHENTIC selves. It has taught me that home is not necessarily a physical space, but rather the COMMUNITY you surround yourself with. To know that the Window of Kindness may play a small role in allowing our most vulnerable clients to feel a sense of community and belonging, despite the daily challenges they may be facing, has been the most rewarding part of my time at Facing Homelessness. I will truly miss the beautiful community that the Window of Kindness has created.”
