New year, new Sunshine Story! Thank you Lisette for sharing your journey, and to the PPP staff who supported her in getting into recovery. “Love. Support. Help. Anything you need, you can get. They do so many things here... All you’ve got to do is ask.” ppponline.org/blog/lisettes-…

Check out this fantastic interview with Invisible People ➤ Imagine Everyone With a Home + PPP's Lead Program Officer for Housing & Harm Reduction Services, Kate Perch!
