Peter\u2019s case manager wrote a letter on behalf of Peter to help him obtain glasses so that he could successfully perform the critical hands-on component of his program.<\/p>\n<p>Resource Specialist Leah answered the call! First she helped Peter find out if he has MediCal and set up an appointment for him to have his eyes examined. Peter left the office with a scheduled appointment and the PHC and vision volunteer teams worked together to figure out how Peter could get his glasses in time to continue his training. We decided to utilize our partnership with Site for Sore Eyes to see if we could accelerate the process. Site for Sore Eyes provided PHC with a discounted rate of $99 and we were able to use emergency funds to support Peter in making this purchase on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p>When Peter came back into the office, he was wearing his outfit from the training. He expressed gratitude to PHC, and especially Resource Specialist Leah, and had a big smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>It felt amazing knowing that Peter received his glasses so he can stay in the training program that will enable him to move forward on his career goals!<\/p>\n<p>*Name has been changed to protect the identity of our participant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary of our services for the month of July Total Services 1092 Unduplicated participants 419 Basic Needs 298 Food (including 71 Re-plate) 140 Hygiene\/Personal Care 247 Benefits 8 Communications 16 Housing 53 Rent 4 Temporary Housing 1 Medical 213 Dental (TW, Studio Dental)10 Dentures (UCSF) 1 Prescription Glasses 54 Readers 97 Other 37 Employment Services&hellip;&nbsp;<a class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read\u00a0More\" href=\"https:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/2017\/08\/monthly-spotlight-july-2017\/\">Read\u00a0More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":29167,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
