Marc began coming to one of Second Story’s Safe Youth Projects because he liked the field trips and receiving help with his schoolwork. Once he trusted his program coordinator, he revealed to her that his family was experiencing homeless. Our staff sprung into action to come around his family and help them find housing and other support.
