In December 2024, a couple arrived in San Diego to celebrate their wedding anniversary. They had lived in Texas for their entire lives and had diligently saved for this vacation. Unfortunately, upon their arrival, they became victims of a robbery, resulting in the complete loss of their funds. This unexpected event forced them to spend two nights on the streets, exposing them to significant risks and vulnerabilities. Without a way to return home, they began to ask around for resources and were provided with the information for the Unhoused Care Team. The couple was referred to the Family Reunification Program where they promptly received travel assistance back to their home and support system. Later that month during a follow-up call, the couple shared they had successfully returned home and initially stayed with family who offered them the opportunity to stabilize their current situation. With that support, they were able to transition out of their family’s residence and secure a small guest house nearby. They were also both able to gain full-time employment at a local restaurant, marking a significant step toward their reintegration. They expressed profound gratitude to the Unhoused Care Team for the critical support that facilitated their recovery and stability, and enabled them to rebuild their lives.

During a coordinated outreach effort in partnership with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, Unhoused Care Team member Suede had the privilege of meeting Nicholas. As they continued to talk, Nicholas shared about the connection he wanted to reestablish with his family in Los Angeles. From that outreach, we were able to schedule him an intake meeting to see if he would qualify for the Family Reunification Program. During this process, we learned that Nicholas's family had been on a heartfelt quest to find him and were willing to drive from the San Fernando Valley to reunite with him. We transported Nicholas to the Neil Good Day Center, where he waited anxiously while we coordinated the reunion. A few hours later, their long-awaited reunion became a beautiful reality.
