Throughout the years, mental health has been taken more seriously. There are more people every day who are coming forward and realizing that mental illnesses such as PTSD and depression are just as serious as any physical sickness. Thankfully there are non-profit organizations like Pathway Homes, that provide services to people in their local communities.  

“Pathway Homes has provided non-time-limited housing and supportive services to 1,578 adults with serious mental illness and other co-occurring disabilities in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC,” according to LoudounNow. “The nonprofit was founded in 1980 by a coalition of family members seeking better support for their loved ones and mental health professionals.”  

Pathway Homes understands that when life is low or you’re unable to function properly due to underlying mental disorder, it can be hard to keep a roof over your head. They realize that part of helping out the community is keeping families together and safe. 

DryHome Roofing and Siding recognizes this extraordinary effort and has awarded Pathway Homes a new roof for one of their houses through their “Free Roof for the Holidays” program. DryHome “is committed to making a difference in the community. Every day, DryHome’s work ensures that families and organizations have safe high-quality roofs.” 

Pathway Homes CEO, Sylisa Lambert-Woodard, stated, “We are grateful for DryHome’s generosity and leadership. For our clients who have struggled to keep a roof over their heads, the meaning of having a new one is not lost on them or us.”
