William, 21 years old, WA

William shares his story with quiet resilience. After losing his job, he also lost his housing—a sudden unraveling that left him without stability despite years of service as a veteran. He has had to navigate adulthood largely on his own. Today, William is working again and doing everything he can to rebuild, but the gap left by those difficult months still lingers.
