Beth shared how moving her son into a REACH house changed life for both of them. Before the move, she carried the weight of full time caregiving at home and wondered what options might exist for him as an adult. The idea of him living separately felt distant and difficult to imagine.
After he moved into a shared home, Beth saw his anxiety and depression ease. He began learning new skills, started opening up socially, and formed friendships in the house. She described how he lit up when roommates called to check on him during a visit home, a small but powerful sign that he felt connected to the people he lived with.
For Beth, the housing change brought another kind of relief. She gained time to herself while knowing her son was in a safe, stable place that fit his needs and income. Her words reflect a mix of gratitude, surprise, and comfort, all tied back to the opportunity her son received to live in a REACH home.
