Beyond food and shelter, Switchpoint Community Resource Center is a stepping stone to independence for individuals experiencing homelessness.
A train naturally follows the path of a railroad track, but one simple device is used to redirect them when needed. This mechanism is crucial for efficiently getting trains to their intended destinations, a feat nearly impossible otherwise. The name of this device is a switch point.
Your contributions are changing lives every day. Your dollars help to empower those facing homelessness and other challenges, to shift onto the track that will lead to their best life.
Why Homelessness Matters
Homelessness exposes individuals and families to traumatic events which often aggravates their current circumstances. Homelessness challenges the ability to access needed resources and regain self-sufficiency. Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of homelessness. Homelessness often interrupts schooling and the development of positive peer and mentoring relationships. Children experiencing homelessness frequently experience dangerous or unhealthy environments and may be more likely to experience homelessness as an adult. Communities also feel the impact of homelessness.
