Guest Blog Post from Chan Henry, Case Manager, Urban Pathways on Need for #JustPay
Nov.24.2021

Urban Pathways provides homeless services and supportive housing, and our programs have never closed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides dealing with COVID itself, the pandemic has created other huge challenges for my clients experiencing homelessness. They face restrictions making appointments, having to wait for months at a time to be seen, and challenges getting paperwork updated that is needed to apply for housing. This has resulted in my colleagues and I doing double the work to ensure our clients get what they need for housing.
