Abstract:

Former homeless man Mike Kelly recently graduated from Housing for New Hope’s PATH Program. The Durham resident is now working and just moved into his own apartment. Through several brief stories making up an essay, Kelly talks about his stay at Phoenix House transitional housing, beating addictions, his new life, and his old friends. He also discusses why many homeless individuals fear the “system” and how it is sometimes easier to stay homeless.
