Welcome Home Meets Welcome Center

We start with me climbing into a UGM vehicle to travel across the campus.

So I'm in a van here, and I'm

going to the Welcome Center, and my driver is Mark.

Yes, sir.

All right.

So we're leaving the donation center.

Yes, sir.

Our COC.

It's the Community Outreach Center.

And you're one of the outreach people over at the Welcome Center.

Yes, sir.

We do our outreach, help out with our intake and our diversions as well, too.

If we have an individual or a family comes in that we aren't able to... particularly help them we don't want to want them to leave empty-handed so that's where we step in call different shelters different resources we have and make sure they have somewhere safe to at least lay their head for the next few nights until they're able to get back on their feet.

So we've gone down about five buildings and we're gonna pull into the UGM Welcome Center and there are a few parking spots open here.

Yeah, this is a rarity for us because we are usually packed to the brim, helping our unhoused neighbors.

And if we see a full parking lot, we're usually in pretty good moods.

That means we're helping somebody, getting them what they need.

All right.

And there's a bus stop right up here.

Yes, sir.

All right.

I'm going to just keep recording.

This is fun.

All right.

We'll get you on inside.
