Annie’s Story: A New Lease on Life

For Annie, finding her place at Compass Affordable Housing was her first step into building the life she had only dreamed about. She had withdrawn from life and from others, and lacked the social capital to bolster her self-esteem.

Today, Annie has friends, a community, and a sense of belonging. For her, the journey has not ended — it is just beginning. She has the people, the atmosphere, and the community that have helped her build her self-esteem, her self-worth, and a network of support that encourages her to live her best life.

Having a compass helps those experiencing housing insecurity set a direction to meet their Self-Esteem Needs and to feel respected, recognized, and a sense of belonging. You can help people set a positive direction by partnering with Compass Affordable Housing to create “Safe Places for Human Development.”
