Client Testimonial
What clients love about working with us!
Hello, my name is James Hirsch and for my entire adult life I have been homeless. I struggled with addiction and have mental health issues as well. When I moved to Shelton, WA I was living in the shelter where I met Katrina and Michelle from Proactive Supportive Housing Services and at first, I did not believe they could help me, I really did not believe anyone could help me. I met with Katrina weekly as we began the process, and it was through determination, hard work and not giving up that led to qualifying housing. I am proof that it works! Having a place to live that is all my own speaks volumes to the work that they have done for me. We still meet and work on what it takes to continue to be housed and I appreciate that. I just want to show my gratitude. It's been a very long journey and I would not be where I am today without Proactive Supportive Housing Services. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it inspires someone to want to have housing .

My name is Jessica Brown, but this testimonial isn't just about me. It's about my little family of 3 and how with the help of Proactive Supportive Housing Services and God of course, we are not only in our own place, but have been blessed with a home, working towards not just a job, but a career. Just 6 months ago we had just moved into a shelter after living in hotels and a little rv not intended for a family. We have a past like everyone does, and I could tell you all about the struggles we've overcome to get here, but the reality is we all have habits and hang-ups and sometimes one misguided decision can shatter what we called life. Then one day you wake up and realize you were never really living your life, but you were a slave to other people's ideas of what it should look like. When I met Michele, I remember her telling me this was a journey where I get to drive. I think I panicked at 1st because that has never been an option in my life. But as we have worked together and we made a pros & cons list for our home & reached out together, I applied, and 1st try we found our home. Then a lot of teamwork & diligence and 3 weeks later we had the keys. When given the option to keep working together my response was that it would be silly to stop now, we are just beginning. She has helped empower me to be who I always was meant to be, by believing in me & nudging me in the right direction. Both these ladies, I consider part of our team, I'm so grateful for them. Thank you, Michele & Katrina.

Katrina and Carrie are a combination that I could not do without. A caliber of a team I owe my very physical placement and welfare to.
I found Katrina from Proactive Supportive Housing Services during a point in my life where I felt like I was in a dark tunnel with little to no light. I was homeless living in the woods. I had been there for 3 cold months alone. Katrina introduced me to Carrie from Crossroads Housing. Together they helped me see the light I could not see while I was deep in despair over my situation. They helped me navigate and sort my life.
I was trying desperately to be a good dad to my three children while I was slipping into a void. Katrina and Carrie worked as a team and connected the dots with a “magical wand” of information on resources in Shelton, Washington. They showed me abundant strength that I had within me the whole time that I was unaware of.
I am now housed, I have a kitchen with food, a room for my kids, a bed to sleep in instead of the cold ground, a shower in my own place so I do not have to go to random places and a restroom that is my own. This is truly a turn of events and I finally see the light! I feel the love! I am setting up a job and working towards a peer mentoring certificate for the youth of Shelton.
I cannot say enough kind things, thank you Katrina from Proactive Supportive Housing Services and Carrie from Crossroads Housing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really don't wish to think what would have happened to me if I had never met Katrina.

Dear Proactive Supportive Housing Services,
As a veteran, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support and assistance you have provided me in finding safe and affordable housing. Your efforts have truly transformed my life, and I am immensely thankful for the stability and security I now have.
Last winter was particularly harsh for me. I nearly froze to death on several occasions, and the constant threat of violence was a daily reality. I was almost jumped by three men and had my belongings stolen multiple times. These experiences left me feeling vulnerable and hopeless. However, your intervention has changed everything.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Michelle, who has been an invaluable resource throughout this journey. Her knowledge and willingness to help have been a beacon of hope. Whenever I have questions or need guidance, Michelle is always there to point me in the right direction or connect me directly with the necessary resources. Her dedication and compassion have made a significant difference in my life.
Thanks to Proactive Supportive Housing Services, I now have a place to call home, and I no longer live in constant fear. Your organization has given me a fresh start, and I am forever grateful for the second chance you have provided.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for helping me rebuild my life.
Sincerely,
Corey Royals

I began working with Proactive Supportive Housing Services (PSHS) in 2023. I was currently living in a clean and sober house. With the support of PSHS, I was able to obtain employment and build my credit. With the support of the PSHS team, I was then able to rent my very first place!
In addition to PSHS's hard work and dedication to me, along with my commitment and ever-growing efforts, I managed to win my very own Family Law court case to gain custody of my daughter. My daughter and I are now developing a father/daughter bond that continues to strengthen and flourish. This is a prime example and a direct result of all the support and guidance from my former case manager, Michele, and my unswaying determination to be the best dad I can be.
I just want everyone to know that anyone can improve their life. It does take hard work and dedication. The support of the PSHS team has been invaluable in helping me achieve stable housing and custody of my daughter.
