Notable Moments: Client of the Year, Antonio Thompson, was the star of the program. His story of achieving his first year of full-time employment and stability in his own apartment after 30 years of unsheltered living was the perfect example of how St. Joseph the Worker assists individuals through a transitional housing program that rebuilds the lives of its clients. Congratulations Antonio!
