Welcome to Transitions & Connections: Voices of the community collabARTive. 

This project is a compilation of over 8 years of writing projects with the men of the community collabARTive at Peter & Paul Community Services.

The stories are real.  They are based on experiences of those who have passed through our programs. 

They are stories and perspectives typically overlooked, dismissed or never recognized for their value since they are told by an invisible group of people within the community, namely, those who are homeless.

Many thanks to the artists of the community collabARTive who worked so hard with residents to write, edit and perform these stories over the years.

And many thanks to the current residents of the Transitional Housing Program at Peter & Paul Community Services whose courage has resulted in capturing and sharing these stories with you now...
