Boothe started the organization after experiencing homelessness herself. While enlisted and stationed in New Orleans, Boothe lost her home and all of her belongings during Hurricane Katrina. One month after losing her home, Boothe was diagnosed with an aggressive form of head and neck cancer. After two surgeries and 30 cycles of radiation, she beat the cancer but learned shortly thereafter that her position in the Army was downsized and that she was out of work. These factors were the perfect storm that led to Boothe and her family’s homelessness for six months.
