Humans of New York always does a moving, respectful job of sharing stories. This young man was a high school senior with college plans and a band when his mother died. She was a single mom. And just like that, the invisible scaffolding that holds a life together was gone.
He describes it better than any statistic could — how precarious the balance is, how quietly it can collapse, and how most people never see it coming, including themselves.
Every person living in affordable housing arrived there by a different road. This is one of them.

A few weeks ago, Executive Director Shawn Smitley and Director of Operations Colin Loggins represented The Caleb Group at the Housing Partnership Network Insurance Exchange conference in Denver.
Colin joined a panel discussion on unit inspection protocols — sharing perspective earned from overseeing housing across four New England states. The conversations at HPNIx strengthen our practice and connect us to a national network of mission-driven housing organizations.
Proud of the work and the voices Caleb brings to the table.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Joan Sawyer, co-founder of The Caleb Group.
Joan helped build this organization from the ground up in 1992 alongside her husband Warren and daughter Debbie. She was a familiar face at resident events, a steady voice in the organization's most important decisions, and the founder of The Caleb Group scholarship program, which has supported nearly 350 current and former residents in pursuing higher education.
Her compassion was personal and immediate. It showed up in quiet, lasting ways — and it continues to shape every home we steward.
We extend our deepest condolences to the entire Sawyer family.
