Melanie* recently joined the HELP program following a successful referral from an internal EPS unit. After the referral, her HELP Navigator from the George Spady Society (GSS) met with her at the EPS Detainee Management Unit (DMU) to assist with planning her next steps post-release.
Understanding the urgency of Melanie’s housing situation, arrangements were made for a temporary stay in a hotel. This stay also allowed for a touching reunion with her beloved kitten, Hope. This immediate support helped Melanie begin planning her future with her Navigator while focusing on stabilizing her situation and caring for both herself and Hope.
During the initial visit, immediate goals were set, with a primary emphasis on securing stable housing. Melanie is eager to work with the HELP unit, hoping to receive comprehensive medical care for both her physical and mental health needs. As the team continues to support Melanie, they will also work on arranging her long-term housing solutions.
