William: Stability After Struggle

St. Joseph House of Hospitality resident, William

Originally from Chicago, William came to Pennsylvania 26 years ago, carrying the weight of childhood as an orphan. After losing his apartment, he had nowhere to go—until a counselor pointed him toward Catholic Charities’ St. Joseph House of Hospitality.

He’s found comfort and consistency ever since.

I don’t have to worry about a roof over my head. I don’t have to worry about food or cooking my own food like I was doing.

At St. Joe’s, William has found relief from the daily strain of survival—and a new sense of stability.
