Despite refusal of funds from government agencies due to its drug-free policy for residents, this wonderful, caring organization still finds a way to keep moving forward while holding its values and standards high in serving others. I have served a meal to several families who are being lifted out of their circumstances and in our conversations felt their hope, gratitude, and determination to make a better life for themselves. The leadership at Solutions for Change has a never-wavering conviction to bring Christ-like love and support without judgement to all who come to live here.

Wonderful mission and vision in helping to end homelessness. I've helped volunteer with them before and it was a wonderful ex po experience. They're dedicated to improving lives, not just placing a band aid on the problem. Even with funding cut from state/government sources, they've continued to find a way to help support these families to end the cycle of homelessness and poverty.

This organization is amazing because it teaches families how to end the cycle of homelessness by teaching life skills and accountability. Parents learn how to eventually rely on themselves in order to care for themselves and their families. Instead of a bandaid this organization helps heal families.

I have a family member that needed to start over from scratch due to the home situation. From what I understand most of the women have had to walk away with almost nothing in order to get out. Solutions for Change has a comprehensive program to provide housing, build up the skills, confidence, and path to become independent again. It is a structured program with accountability. There is counseling, classes, work, fun, and support. These individuals would be homeless or forced to live in dangerous situations. The participants have to be engaged because there are a lot of rules to follow as you transition along.
Thanks to volunteers and donations, the residents at Solution for Change are provided with necessities and more. I am very impressed with this program and it is great to see something that works and provides a path to move forward to a productive life.

My name is Victoria and I have been a resident of Solutions for Change for a little over 2 years. Being in this program has completely changed my life. It has equipped me to be a woman of integrity, an amazing mother, and a productive member of society. Thanks to Solutions, I am now employed and have all of my children back in my custody. I will forever be grateful to Solutions for Change for what it's done for me and my family.

I have seen firsthand the tremendous growth and positive change in the lives of their clients. Clients come in scared and frightened. They leave with brand new lives, transformed in ways they never dreamed possible. Solutions for Change, with their incredible, loving, caring staff, is doing it right!

Hello,
My name is Marton Platt Burton and I'm thrilled to here a strong organization helping out people in need. I am writing a report on people who's helping the cause and be sure to raise the donation. I thank ya'll for what ya'll are doing. Please keep it up

My name is Amber and i am a single mother. I am a resident at solutions for Change. I have been a resident for over a year and a half and i can say without a doubt that this program has helped me transform my life and the lives of my children in so many ways. Since coming to Solutions for Change i have maintained a full time job for over a year, i have regained full custody of my children, i have been clean and sober for almost two years, i give back to my community, i pay my taxes and i help other families and children in need. I have a place for my children and myself to call home. This is all possible because of Solutions for Change.

We have helped make Christmas baskets for families that live in Solutions for Change housing. The baskets and boxes consist of food, clothes, and toys. We found the families to be very grateful and happy with their love homes while we were delivering the baskets and boxes. It's a really outstanding program.

Solutions for Change has taken a practical approach to making change in the community - and its working. No more handouts, just a hand up when people need it. A safe place to stay, a way to get back to work and an environment that keeps everyone – especially the kids – safe from going backwards.

I'm a volunteer for approx. seven years..

I have been in shelters when my children were small over 30 years ago. The shelters would only house you for one to two months, not nearly enough time to get your life back together. Solutions for Change is an awesome program helping people get back on their feet and addressing the issues most needed. A long term hand and experience is what changes lives permanently. --christina castaneda

Solutions for Change has been nothing but transparent and wonderful in their interactions with me. As a journalist and former California resident, I became interested in their program after my best friend volunteered there. What I found was a good system and people with a heart to help the homeless. Their methods are solid and their hearts big - one of the best non-profits I've every worked with!

I discovered Solution for Change in 2009 and was literally overwhelmed but what they accomplish in changing the lives of hopeless homeless families into happy productive and self sufficient families. I have served on numerous board for non-profits over my lifetime and I have never witnessed a more effective outcome to the mission.

I live in Colorado Springs area of Colorado. One of the biggest difference I noticed two years ago when I moved here from North Carolina was the amount of homeless people. Being so new, I was unaware that the legalization of marijuana here in Colorado and increased "homelessness" was so closely tied together.
After months of ministering to the homeless here, I am now very well aware that giving and giving and giving does not break the cycle....it increases co-dependency.
I am very impressed with Solutions for Change (Vista, Ca) and hopeful that their model will reach Colorado.
A lot of money is being thrown at the problem here in Colorado with no real solution in sight.
Accountability works. It has a way of weeding out those that really want a hand up from those that are just looking for a hand out. I have been troubled by homelessness for years...even before I moved to Colorado. Solutions for Change, so far, is the only program I have found that restores hope....especially to the children....breaking the cycle, which is essential to real success.
I am so thankful for Solutions for Change even though I am not a direct recipient of this ministry. Indirectly, we all suffer when homelessness is present in our world. I'm thankful for a real Solution for real Change. Let this model spread across our country.

Solutions for Change is exactly what it's name says; I have been a supporter of this organization for years and firmly believe their model for helping families is the best solution for positive change; for the families and for our community.

Solutions for Change is a program that equips families with the skills, knowledge and resources to permanently solves family homelessness. They also own their own housing enabling the residents to have the time to get financially self-sufficient. So many children will never be homeless again, thanks to Solutions for Change!

Always putting the success of their residents FIRST! I'm prid to have this program in our town helping change families!!!!!
