"We needed many basic needs including an adequate place to live,
a place we could call our own, where my child would have their own room, bed and toys.
Together we worked on a course of action. Tirelessly, my outreach worker did research,
explored resources and regularly maintained contact with me. In a short time, all immediate
and basic needs have been met.We are very happy living in our new home.
From our experience, The Road Home is valuable, effective and it works.
The Road Home is an asset to Red Deer's community."
