Project Sanctuary Testimonials

Hi I'm Dylan, I am 22 years old and I live at The Project Sanctuary. I started using drugs when I was 9 years old. I had my first taste of marijuana and I hated it and never wanted to do it again. When I was 13 years old I had my first party, and that's when I tried my first Xanax. I thought it was the best feeling I had ever felt. Soon after that I went on a bad path. Now fast forward to the present; I have been here at The Project Sanctuary for about 4 months now and I've learned how to do laundry, cook, and work on all the problems I have suffered with the last few years of my life. Thank You to The Project Sanctuary!

I was an already lost 23 year old, losing myself deeper to drugs. When I found The Project Sanctuary I was given another chance to find myself in a safe place today and I can honestly say I'm clean, and happy, and excited about the purpose I feel I now have in life. Thank You to The Project Sanctuary

Since entering The Project Sanctuary I have hope, a family, and security to build my future and flourish! Its been almost 3 years of homelessness, chaos, and a wild goose chase trying to rebirth my life like a video game! If it wasn't for The Project Sanctuary I don't know where I'd be. They lift me up, meet all my needs, and the help I get now from everyone involved is life changing. I now have my place of serenity, my sanctuary, through The Project Sanctuary!

Operation Safe Night

We have conscientiously made the decision to have a limited amount of emergency beds for organizations and city agencies to refer those in desperate need or are under unfortunate circumstances. This program is called “Operation Safe Night”. The goal of Operation Safe Night is to give those In need a safe place to stay for a night. This is something we believe will give back to the community and provide those in need a worry free and peaceful place for them to sleep for a night. If you are an organization please email andrewg@caimm.org for emergency bed availability.
