St. Paul's PACE Supportive Housing Services

The St. Paul's PACE Supportive Housing is providing housing for our participants and for the homeless community in San Diego through an At Risk Program. We service only seniors fifty five and older. We find that if you, you feel safe and you have a place where you can cook your own meals and have safety of locking your door so you can sleep at night. That people once they move in the first night, they sleep a very long time. It just felt so good just to sleep and just know that I don't have to worry about my purse. You know, I just felt safe. It's just a good feeling just to, you know, have somebody smile at you and say hello and, you know, just be there for the support and offer support, so i love it. I really do. I'm going on three months that I've been here and i love it. I feel good again, you know, I mean, I was bouncing from one place to another. I stayed in a car a few times. My friends car, it was a nice experience, but like I said, you know when I met Mark and Donna and my friend kind of help me out. It was a blessing. I have responsibilities again, makes a person get busy. makes you feel human again, you know, normal. I felt like it was it was very overwhelming. So just the fact of knowing that now I have a roof over my head, I feel safe and, you know i'm in a great environment. PACE isn't far away.

Nicole was the first angel in my life from PACE. She's just made me feel okay, because I was always worried about like where would I go next. Tell me what it is about PACE that you like? People a great personality is a big heart. I can feel that, you know and I love PACE. From the doctor down to the drivers. It just keeps me healthy. Being a PACE member is keeping me alive basically, that's how I put that.

They will build a community that's probably a more productive community. There's social workers, this activity, people on site. And we try to get people to come out of their rooms and interact and have a healthier lifestyle. It's like everyone just welcomes you. I mean, everyone and it says it's a good feeling, you know, especially being homeless and, you know, a lot of people just look down on, you know. They don't understand that anybody could be homeless, you could become homeless. You just don't know the situation.

It's been very helpful to me. I mean, it can help a lot of because a lot of people do need help. We help them get equipment. we help them get glasses. We help them get hearing aids. We transport them back and forth for all their appointments. I love it. I really do. I think, I thank you guys for, you know, being here. Go sign up and you have your paperwork ready and do what you need to do and and you will be having your place soon. Yeah, it works!
