On June 10, PATH Santa Barbara held its inaugural Making It Home Tour, which featured four spectacular Santa Barbara residences. The 204 guests were transported by historic trolleys between these idyllic abodes, enjoyed wine and food pairings at every stop, and ended the day with a festive party at Cabana Home.
PATH, which merged with Casa Esperanza in July 2015, has an interim housing facility off Milpas Street. It provides a full range of services there to sober, homeless individuals to improve their health, increase their income, and transition them to stable housing. It also offers a Winter Shelter Program there.
The tour was a pure delight from start to finish. Guests were greeted on board the trolleys by PATH staff members and volunteers and promptly served bubbly and snacks while hearing about the homes on tour. Between stops, our guide, Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Hark-Dietz, also gave us an overview of PATH and answered our questions.
