Mark P. became homeless following an acrimonious divorce. In the midst of a hostile child custody battle, he was admitted into the PATH Achieve Glendale Emergency Housing program. Within three weeks he secured a temporary job with Labor Ready that turned into a permanent assignment paying $14 per hour. His Employment Case Manager not only assisted Mark with gaining employment, but facilitated his move into a two-bedroom apartment that CalWORKs is subsidizing for one year, and helped him retain an attorney to advocate for him in the custody battle. Mark now has a home, a job, and partial custody of his 5 year-old son.

“An employment search is difficult, even under the best of conditions, but when one is homeless, it seems like an almost insurmountable task.  PATH Achieve gave me a solid foundation from which to see – and secure – employment.”  - Deryl
