Success Stories

Collection of Stories - Escaping Life on the Streets

Stories of those that have a place of their own, a roof, a bed, and a front door key. These stories are from some men and women that used to live on the streets in Berkeley. Some are now in shelters, still working for permanent housing, others have found a way to finally have a home of their own.

Some stories use real names, others have their names changed. It is up to the individuals to decide how to present these stories.
