Two years ago, Marc Johnson was experiencing homelessness in Phoenix and searching for a way forward.
Then he saw an ABC15 news story about Entryway.
That story gave him something he hadn’t had in a long time: hope that a different future was possible.
Marc reached out, enrolled in Entryway’s program, completed career training, secured employment with one of our multifamily industry partners, and moved into stable housing. Today, he is thriving and building a future that once felt out of reach.
Now, ABC15 has returned to tell the next chapter of Marc’s story.
Watch Marc’s inspiring story on ABC15:
Watching Marc share his journey is a powerful reminder that one opportunity, one partnership, and sometimes even one story can change the course of a person’s life.
At Entryway, we believe employment and housing work together to create lasting stability. Through partnerships with the multifamily industry, we connect individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness with career opportunities, supportive services, and access to discounted housing, helping them build a foundation for long-term success.
Marc’s story also highlights the importance of sharing stories of hope. The very news story that introduced him to Entryway became the catalyst for his own transformation. Today, his story may inspire someone else to take that same first step.
We are grateful to ABC15 and Ford Hatchett for highlighting Marc’s journey and to The Ferraro Group for providing pro bono PR support. We are also especially grateful to our employer partners, donors, volunteers, and supporters who make stories like his possible every day.
