“I would like to say thank you for what you have done for me. I had no positive outlook or hope. When you came in and got me from the hospital, it was like a ray of hope for me. I will never forget what you have done for me.”  

“You cannot know how gratified we as parents of a son with emotional difficulties are that we can rely on the care and love that you all have shown, and genuine caring in (our son’s) mental health and well-being. Thank you very much for all that you do and for all the others that pass through your doors and into your care.”

“Without DePaul, I would not have such a beautiful studio (apartment). I have lived here for 18 years and every year I make progress. I owe DePaul my life.”

“DePaul staff is very attentive and concerned about its clients. It feels like a safe family environment. The support is outstanding. Now I can emotionally breathe again. Thank you all for the quality service given to this community.”

“DePaul has given me the knowledge I need to help understand my mental health issues and how to handle them to get better.”

“DePaul helps me achieve so many of my personal goals by believing in me and giving me the support I need. DePaul volunteers other services that can benefit my housing and personal situation. Thank you for giving me the help I need to better myself.”

“I feel I can reach my goal of one day living totally on my own. The building is beautiful and everyone is happy to be here.”

“I enjoy living in my apartment through the Supported Housing program. The program has given me opportunities to learn how to live independently. Through conversations with therapists at DePaul and day-to-day living, I have learned more and more about what it takes to take care of myself and my own home.”

“If it wasn’t for your program, I would still be homeless with no furnishings. I am very grateful. God bless this program and staff.”
