ORGANIZATION: Pathlight HOME (Grand Ave ECDC)
Please visit the new page to apply.
Pathlight HOME, founded in 1992, is Florida’s first and largest provider of the proven Housing First permanent supportive housing model. They currently provide more than 600 formerly-homeless Central Florida neighbors with permanent, affordable housing through two apartment complexes - Maxwell Terrace Apartments (3200 W Colonial Dr) and Maxwell Garden Apartments (4049 S. Orange Blossom Trail). Both locations include efficiency units and supportive services programs for adults who are chronically homeless, as well as units for those imminently homelessness. There are 3 case managed programs at Pathlight HOME: Safe Haven, Homes For New Beginnings, and Restore.
At Pathlight HOME our goal is to provide our residents with resources and opportunities that they might not be able to obtain themselves as they get themselves back on their feet. Personal pampering might fall lower on a list of priority for some our residents and they prioritize other needs. For that reason Pathlight HOME would love to have volunteers come in and provide free haircuts for our residents. Whether you are currently in beauty school or already licensed, an individual or a group, please contact our Development Associate, Gabriella Trevino at 407-984-1735 or gtrevino@pathlighthome.org to schedule a few haircut sessions for our residents.
This opportunity may take place at Maxwell Terrace (3200 W Colonial Dr.) or Maxwell Gardens (4049 S Orange Blossom Trail).
