Twenty Years
of Dignity
We have had twenty years to learn from the Dignity experience, and the successes in the lives of the families we serve form the foundation for hope and new directions. We are here today because, over the years, so many different supporters have been there for us. With your help, Dignity Housing will continue to build community, create leaders, and make
positive changes in the lives of homeless and
low-income citizens.

WHAT DO OUR RESIDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DIGNITY?
|
“Sometimes life has beaten you down so bad that you don’t even remember what you used to want out of life or how to get there. Dignity encourages you to wake up and tap into those lost dreams and supports and encourages you to reach them.”
|
Haneef Nelson
| “A home is priceless in the life of a child. If you don’t have that foundation, you end up with a whole other set of problems. Dignity gave my family that foundation, that security in our lives, and from that we had something solid and stable to start each day with.” |
Claudette Boyd
| “It was a wonderful experience. I still have a lot of affection for the people at Dignity. What makes this program different is that it is an ongoing process of re-learning basic skills and doing things that sometimes you really don’t want to do. But if you put your whole heart into it, and you really commit to staying sober, saving money, or doing volunteer work, things begin to change. It’s doing the little things right every time that make you successful. I had to start my life all over again when I started Dignity, but they taught me the skills to figure it out. I just had to bring the commitment.” |
Valena Williams Tull
 Dignity provides help up, not a hand out. The program offers windows of opportunities that others don’t offer…I believe that if you do not have any ambitions then this program would not work for you, but if you want to be successful, then I say ‘Dignity Housing is the place to be!’ |
Coretta Heath
| I had the dignity and pride to succeed, I just didn't know how to develop it. |

It was like being part of a family. I’ve always seen myself as an independent person, but Dignity helped me to become more independent, and provided me with a sense of direction while returning some of the self-esteem that I had lost.

 When you are in the shelter system, it is complete chaos and uncertainty every day. You don’t get to dictate where your kids sleep or when you can eat. The time spent there allowed me to recognize that now I am truly blessed. My children now have a sense of peace and security.”
Dignity has changed my entire life. This program is truly a blessing. For those who want to succeed in life and who want to become self-sufficient but just need one last shot, the help is here. Dignity is here. You just have to want it. There really are no excuses if you truly want it.

I am grateful for all the things that Dignity has provided to me over my time here. The program was a blessing and has taught me more then I knew possible about how to be a better person.

Dignity II was about me and my family…with hard work and support I was able to accomplish so many of my family’s goals. The program helped me to know myself better, which allowed me to provide more for others. |
