Claudia B (age 27) lived in a vehicle for more than a year with her two sons due to a breakdown of her family support system. She was a walk-in to St. Joseph Center in December 2017 and assigned a case manager. Thanks to St. Joseph, Claudia obtained multiple motel vouchers and a host of support, including a housing choice voucher, job leads, gift cards, groceries, beds, bus tokens, etc. These essential resources gave Claudia a deeper sense of self-worth and hopefulness, and a renewed trust in relationships that would help her create a safe environment and stick to her housing stability plan. Recently, Claudia showed her case manager a video of her son walking into their new home, with joy and excitement and tears in her eyes. Since being housed, Claudia has found a job and has both children in school.
