Robert hadn’t seen his brother Dan in 17 years. “I’ve been looking for him. I hadn’t had any luck and, honestly, I didn’t think he was still around.” 

But when Robert moved from one CSS community to the Micro-Mission Community in mid-September, he saw a face he knew.

“Oh my God, it’s my long lost brother,” he said. And they gave each other a big bear hug.

Dan, 56, has been in CSS Safe Spots for two years and Robert, 59, about a year. Eugene natives, they have both dealt with many difficult challenges. But, thanks to CSS, they have been reunited in a safe place and will help each other build more stable lives.

“It was meant to be,” Dan says.
