When Louisiana native Alvin Bluche moved to Seattle to begin life over, he had no idea how hard it would be to find employment or an apartment he could call his own. He was tired of couch surfing and felt he'd exhausted all options living with friends.  

It was after hearing about Neighborhood House's employment program at a resource fair, that he began to envision his life moving in a positive direction.  

Through tenacity and hard work and the help he received at Neighborhood House, he's now living an optimum life.
