For a young Gregory, settling down wasn’t an option because homes were never permanent. Back then, staying transient was just a way to survive. But as Gregory got older, it became clear that running was no way to live.
“My wife and I became very unhappy with our lives,” Gregory said. “We were homeless, I was struggling with addiction and we hopped from motel to motel each night hoping for a place to sleep. I didn’t want my kids to have to grow up like this. I wanted direction and stability for them and all of us.”
In 2010, a friend of the Smith family had just joined Solutions for Change. They saw the life-changing power of Solutions’ programs and thought of how the Smiths could find the direction they were seeking at Solutions Academy. That friend referred Gregory and his wife to Solutions, and within a few months, the Smiths were fully moved into our housing and attending Solutions classes.
