Lynda, age 75, is a Santa Barbara resident with a passion for helping others. Her story is an example of some of the diversity of factors that result in homelessness in our community. Lynda shared that her experience of homelessness fostered her own passion to care for those less fortunate than herself.

As we think about homelessness this World Homeless Day, help us to spread the message that #EveryoneHasAStory.

In recognition of #WorldHomelessDay on October 10, @citynethomelessservices, @cityofgoleta, @pathpartners, @sbactnow, @santabarbarafoundation, and @sb_rescuemission are partnering together to share a series of 9 stories of South SB County locals with lived experience of homelessness. Special thanks to @vote_oscar_sb for donating your time and filming expertise.

Additionally, we will be hosting “Homelessness: It’s Not What You Think” on Zoom on Thursday, 10/10 at 5:30pm. Join us to hear more from these amazing individuals and learn what’s reality and what’s a myth about homelessness in our community.
