NOTE: Facing Homelessness does not share Resident content (including stories, photos, or personal information) without prior consent. We honor BLOCK Residents having boundaries and self-care, which can show up in the form of remaining anonymous, not receiving guests/visitors at home, and not participating in promotional material.
Saying “no” is a brave act of self-love and momentous step towards healing. We celebrate this, and remind our partners that Resident Wellness is our top priority, and that it is our Residents themselves who know what is best for their own safety, well-being, and trauma-recovery. Please reach out to staff with any questions.
