“Larry Woods, a constituent of mine from Winston-Salem, is accomplishing groundbreaking work in service to local North Carolinians. Under Larry's leadership, the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem is transforming the template for North Carolina's housing programs through a program called PATH, or Projects for Assistance in the Transition from Homelessness. Through PATH, the housing authority works with community groups in service to families and individuals who are proactively seeking to reduce and eventually end their dependence on government support. PATH's community collaborations provide specialized job skills, education, employment preparation, and career placement services to equip families as they turn their dreams into reality. The PATH concept, championed by Larry Woods and his team, has capitalized on community resources, has eliminated duplication and gaps in service, and has reduced service costs. Participants in the PATH program soon will also be able to benefit from access to special ``step-up'' housing at the housing authority's new, modern facilities. In the near future, some individuals working to improve their lives through PATH will be able to move into the Oaks, a new 50-unit development located in Winston-Salem. The Oaks will feature a variety of apartments to fit residents' unique needs and provide a valuable incentive for participants as they move forward in their personal journeys toward self-sufficiency.…”
