It is measured in movement
A Path Toward Safety
For nearly nine years, one man lived wherever he could find shelter—often sleeping in a church stairwell and other unsafe places throughout Butler County. Living with severe mental illness, he was often misunderstood and many people were afraid of him.
Over time he built trust with Pastor Felix, Executive Director of New Life Mission. Through coordination with mental health providers and the courts, that trust became the turning point.
Today he lives in a supervised group home where he has a bed, regular care from his doctor, clean clothes, and something he had not experienced in years — safety.
