Compass Point Village provides safe, stable apartments to these individuals just in time for the harsh winter weather. \u201cThese are folks who have been living unhoused for at least a year, and often for decades, and they will be inside this winter rather than battling the cold to stay alive,\u201d says Eleanor Ashton, who was the senior resource development director for Homeward Bound prior to her retirement in November.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65154\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65154\" class=\"wp-image-65154\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Roy-showing-off-his-new-apartment-to-Homeward-Bound-staff-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"389\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-65154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roy showing his new apartment to Homeward Bound staff<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is Western North Carolina\u2019s newest and largest Housing First-based apartment complex that provides Permanent Supportive Housing services on-site. The Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) model has demonstrated effectiveness in resolving chronic homelessness by reducing clients\u2019 interactions with the criminal justice system and other public systems. \u201cCompass Point Village is not a shelter or transitional housing,\u201d says Ashton. \u201cIt is permanent housing. In addition to a fully furnished studio apartment, residents have access to a peer support room, a library, an outdoor courtyard and a communal dining room. These spaces help foster a sense of community, allowing residents to feel connected to and invested in their environment and one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through partnerships with agencies like Sunrise Community for Wellness, MANNA FoodBank, Appalachian Mountain Health and the Equal Plates Project, Homeward Bound is able to provide a range of services at Compass Point Village, including behavioral health, social and educational activities, job training, meals and a medical clinic. Compass Point Village residents are selected through a community-based process called Coordinated Entry, which determines which individuals experiencing chronic homelessness are the most vulnerable. \u201cThey are prioritized to get housing placement and support for as long as they need it,\u201d says Ashton.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitating move-ins at Compass Point Village has been a powerful experience for case manager Sabrina Oakley. She remembers move-in day for her client Jeremy Trull, who goes by the name Tree. Tree has been living on the streets of Asheville for 13 years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-65153\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy-1024x616.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy-810x487.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Spotlight-On-Compass-Point-Village-Playing-corn-hole-copy-1140x686.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\u201cOn the way to Compass Point Village, he said the streets have beaten his spirit these last couple months,\u201d says Oakley. \u201cThe will to survive was dimming for Tree.\u201d Upon opening the door of his new apartment, that changed. \u201cI could visibly see the weight of the world melt off this man,\u201d Oakley says.<\/p>\n<p>On that same day, Oakley helped Roy Worley move into the first real home he\u2019d had in 30 years. Upon arriving, Worley went to each appliance asking, \u201cIs this really mine?\u201d \u201cI just laughed and said yes it is,\u201d Oakley remembers. \u201cRoy fell to his knees in tears and said a prayer of gratitude and thanks and it was the most humbling experience I have ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oakley recalls another client, Magic, who completely transformed after moving into his permanent apartment. \u201cI have known Magic for five years and when he slept everything off, he came down to the courtyard to sit and I did not even recognize him,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was like he had washed off 20 years of being in survival mode. That is what having a home does to our clients. It allows them to sit for a minute and realize they are safe and have everything they need without a fight. They transition into these beautiful humans that they were meant to be all along.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>More than $16.5 million has been raised for the purchase and renovation of Compass Point Village, from a wide range of individual, business, foundation and government donors.
