Bridging Gaps: Dream Centers' Mission to Empower Women in Colorado Springs
We want to create that supportive environment where they have the opportunity to choose that and the support to do it and aren't really pigeonholed into a box where we say you need to go work a full-time job to be in this program.
Imagine juggling multiple jobs and still struggling to access basic healthcare and secure housing. In this episode of 'A Place for Everyone', Beth Roalstad sits down with Matthew Ayres, CEO of Dream Centers of Colorado Springs, to talk about how the organization is making a difference for low-income women and families in the community. From healthcare to housing, Dream Centers and Mary’s Home provide essential services that help bridge critical gaps.
Ayres shares the unique challenges they face, such as offering free care to women who are already stretched thin with work commitments. Flexibility is key, and Dream Centers strives to create an environment where clients can choose their own paths to recovery and stability. The conversation also touches on the continuum of care for homeless individuals and how COVID-19 has impacted their operations.
If you're curious about how local collaborations are shaping the future of healthcare and housing, this episode offers a deep dive into the compassionate efforts of Dream Centers and Mary’s Home.
