Impact in Rapid City

OneHeart – Transportation Program

Jared enrolled at OneHeart while working to stabilize his employment after a period of housing insecurity. When he arrived on campus, he did not have a reliable vehicle and was at risk of losing his job due to inconsistent transportation. Through OneHeart’s Transportation Program, Jared was able to get to work on time each day and maintain steady hours while addressing other goals related to savings and housing stability. As his income stabilized, Jared began setting aside money toward transportation of his own. Having dependable rides reduced stress, improved reliability at work, and allowed Jared to focus on longer-term planning rather than daily survival. The Transportation Program served as a critical bridge, supporting Jared’s progress toward self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on services.
