Taylor explains how Pathways was created after local faith leaders recognized a serious gap: resources existed, but for many people, they were scattered, difficult to reach, and hard to navigate. In response, Pathways developed a one-stop model where 16 partner agencies work together under one roof, offering access to shelter support, identification assistance, mental health services, food resources, recovery support, employment pathways, and more.
