What Makes a Home?

What Makes a Home?

Have you ever thought about what makes a home?

Here is what people living in COTS’ emergency shelter have to say about what makes a home:

Your own space
Your own rules.
Where you feel like you belong and are content.
You own place
Where you can be spontaneous, like sing or dance if you want to.
Where you can be alive.
Where you can work from.
A separate place from the rest of the world.
Where you have family support.
Where you can keep connected with your family and friends.
Where you have roots and feel welcomed.
Where you feel fortified and secure.
A bed.
Where you can relax.
Where you can make meals.
Where you are warm and comfortable.
Where you are financially secure.
Where you have privacy.
Where you can have pets and plants and art.
Where you have the freedom to do what you want.
Where your spouse and family is.
Where you have stability.
Where you have your people and your stuff.
Where your comfort level is 10 ( 1 out of 10)
It’s a safe haven.
Where you have things that bring out memories.
