Checking in with Housing Navigation

Written by: Robert Becerra, Housing Navigator

Summer has been a time of transition for the Housing Navigation program at Wesley House, as is to be expected. One of our housing navigation clients, Dynastey, got housed at Wesley House after working with us for half a year! She has the following to say about her experience with our program:

 “Thank you to everyone at Wesley House! I am so grateful for the team as well as my new apartment and roommate. Everyone was so helpful and ensured all my needs were met! I am so grateful for Robert, especially for always keeping me on track and finding ways to help me. He helped me a lot from moving from transitional housing to student housing, which was not an easy process. He maintained consistent communication and stayed on top of everything throughout the process!”

We are so proud of the work Dynastey did as she navigated employment to secure income for housing. Are you a student facing housing insecurity? You, too, can have success like Dynastey. Reach out by emailing [email protected]

In other news, we have said goodbye to Jeff, our now former Volunteer Housing Navigation Assistant.  He provided exceptional administrative, outreach, and event planning support. We wish him the best on his new employment journey. He has the following parting words:

“Working with Robert Becerra and the team at Wesley house has been a great help in gaining experience. The team is a pleasure to work with, and it's been wonderful to get to know the workings of their organization, including how they help transition-age students and provide needed resources like food and rental assistance.
​
There's a wide array of ways to help, and in whichever way you contribute, Wesley House is a wonderful place at which to volunteer. You’ll enjoy helping the staff who are dedicated to seeing students through to graduation.”
