WHY WE WERE FOUNDED

Pay It Forward SA was founded in 2010 by a recovering alcoholic who recognized a critical gap in transitional support for individuals completing substance use disorder treatment. For many experiencing homelessness, substance use begins as a coping mechanism—a way to endure the fear, trauma, and instability of life on the streets.

 

Unfortunately, those facing both addiction and homelessness often lack access to the consistent support and stable housing needed to sustain recovery. Without these foundational resources, many fall back into old patterns, and the cycle continues. Pay It Forward SA exists to break that cycle—by providing the structure, community, and hope needed for long-term healing and change.
