Im still at Pax Christi, waiting for housing, if I get Spa housing or I end up moving to another shelter i let your know, its like every where esle I've been too, We'll I was sent here by Department of Social Services of Coram
Waiting in a shelter like Pax Christi can be both challenging and hopeful. From my time here, I've realized that every shelter, whether Pax Christi or others in the region, shares common struggles—limited space, resources, and the uncertainty around permanent housing placement. Pax Christi, located at 255 Oakland Ave, is known locally for its hospitality services, offering immediate safe shelter but often leaving people in limbo as they wait for next steps. The shelter’s proximity to community resources is helpful, yet the wait times for Spa housing or other programs can be lengthy. Navigating this system requires patience and persistence. The Department of Social Services of Coram plays a vital role in guiding and assisting residents like me through housing options, but the demand often exceeds supply. While waiting, connecting with fellow residents can provide emotional support and useful information about available services. It’s important to stay proactive—engage with caseworkers regularly, explore local housing programs, and keep an open mind about temporary placements. This experience has taught me the importance of community and resilience in times of uncertainty. If you or someone you know is in a similar situation, visiting shelters like Pax Christi can be a step towards safety, but continue to seek resources and maintain hope for permanent housing solutions.
