For #BlackHistoryMonth, we would like to celebrate our Black owned businesses, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and partners who have supported our mission to end homelessness. Today we are highlighting Chris Richardson, the founder of Black Titan FTC in San Diego and dedicated PATH partner. Black Titan FTC's mission is to help service underserved communities and individuals in need, to improve Public and Community Relations with aspirations of creating their very own educational r...ec center. In July of 2019, Chris and his team started Hope for the Homeless - a kickoff event hosted by Black Titans FTC that encouraged donations of clothes, toiletry kits, and snacks for our new residents at PATH. Since then, they have held coat drives for the winter and delivered meals for PATH Cooks Mobile Delivery. Thank you for your endless support and helping our unhoused neighbors feel the love!

Meet Kevin! Kevin got connected to PATH after our outreach team visited his encampment that he had been living in for 8 years. With the help of our outreach specialists, he was able to make the necessary advancements in his life to seek work and housing. Now, he has a stable job for a moving company that is located just minutes from his new home! In his latest check in he told us, I’m looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life and all that this new year has to offer! Thank you to everyone who helped Kevin make it home!
