Personal healing doesn’t end with you. Its ripple effect looks like:

1️⃣Breaking cycles, so they’re not passed down.

2️⃣Choosing self-awareness, growth, and inner peace instead of letting trauma shape future generations.

3️⃣Modeling resilience, self-care, and accountability in ways that quietly empower others, especially family, community, and those watching your journey.

4️⃣Leaving behind not just memories, but a changed pattern .

Emotional inheritance is a strong legacy to leave.

Text a college student you know and ask them how they’re really doing.

Myth 3️⃣: Homeless people just need to try harder.

The fact is overcoming homelessness requires more than willpower – it takes access to stable and affordable housing, healthcare, education, and community support.

Our hope with this Myths About Homelessness series is that we will begin to challenge our misconceptions about homelessness. It’s time to break the myths and share the facts.

Everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and understood.

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.“ – Desmond Tutu

At Thrive Housing , we hold onto that hope everyday – for the youth, families, and individuals we serve. Even in the face of uncertainty, we believe a brighter future as possible.

Because where there is hope, there is possibility and where there is community, there is light. ☀️

#HoldOntoHope #EveryoneDeservesAHome #ThriveTogether #LightInTheDarkness #HopeInAction #ThriveHousingServices #HarrisburgPA #EndingHomelessness

A safe place to call home, a warm meal, and the support of people who care are not luxuries. They are necessities! ❤️

Myth 2, in our series of addressing myths about homelessness is: “You’re only homeless if you sleep on the streets.”

When people think about homelessness, they often picture tents, sleeping bags, or people on sidewalks, but the reality is much broader.

Many youth experiencing homelessness are “hidden in plain sight”-sleeping on couches, staying in motels, or bouncing between temporary shelters. Many are still in school, going to work, and doing their best to appear “normal” all while struggling without a stable place to call home.

Homelessness isn’t just what we see, but it’s also what we don’t see. Recognizing this is the first step towards change.

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding homelessness and this is one of them. Myth #1: Homeless youth choose to live on the streets.

People experience homelessness for a variety of reasons outside of their control, whether that be job loss, abuse in the home, unfit living conditions, loss of a parent or guardian or any other number of challenges. No matter the challenge, we believe everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.

Let’s put aside myths and misinformation and speak truth with love and kindness.
