Clara* came to us through the Resident Services Coordinator in the property in which she lives.  It had come to their attention that she was having difficulty paying her rent after having lost her job and recieving only $50 a week in unemployment.

Paying a month of her rent was fairly simple, but we didn't stop there.  We were able to connect Clara* with the services she so desperately needed, including clinical, vocational and case management. 

Clara* is now working PT and able to maintain her apartment and all her expenses.  She has shown an increase in self esteem and no longer stays to herself in her apartment.  The change has been evident to everyone, especially the staff at her building who took the time to care and see help for her.
