Patty* came in to see us with tears in her eyes.  Her employment was stopping for the school year and her electric was being threatened to be shut off.  She could not have her family suffering in a very  hot trailer through the summer months, and not knowing where to go, she turned to Harbor Health.  We offered her assistance with her electric and connected her with a Case Manager.  Thanks to the N2N Grant, her family will be able to stay cool and Patty* will be able to rest easy until the new school year.

The apartment they'd been living in for the last 10 years was pending sale and although they were working hard toward recovery, their checkered past was haunting them - they could't find a landlord who would rent to them.

John and Jennifer had a number of things working against them when they tried to find new housing: their credit rating was poor, they both had criminal histories, and they were just scraping by on minimum wage and state benefits.
