    Kirstin

  • "The staff at Project Home Unity aren't just efficient and helpful, but also friendly and kind."

    Client

  • "It took me a lot of courage to admit I needed support for my disability and when I did I am glad to have chosen PHU. It feels in alignment with my values to be supporting a local queer and trans owned and run small business - that my support worker is a peer across multiple intersecting identities has meant I feel safe to be myself and lean into the support. I am very satisfied with the support I am receiving and would highly recommend PHU to other disabled LGBTQ+ people and LGBTQ+ people with disability."
