ROGER
47 years old
Homeless for 30 years
After spending more than three decades living on the streets, 47-year-old Roger moved into his first apartment. In past housing systems, Roger waited in line for hours to get on the waitlist for an apartment, only to be pushed out and driven to give up. After being convinced by his caseworker to give it one more shot, he was assessed using the VI-SPDAT for a new housing opportunity. Roger, due to his high level of need was selected for a housing placement in Gateways Apartments.
Roger was housed in November 2013.
