Midtown is a blessing, especially to young mothers like me

HOW DO FAMILIES END UP HOMELESS?

1 in 3 U.S. adults struggle to pay expenses


Due to the high cost of living, many working families lack the savings required to meet the emergency expenses that we all endure at some point. For many families even a modest car repair, missed day of work, or employment gap can be financially devastating causing them to lose their home.

Families who are able to consistently pay rent encounter trouble affording a security deposit, first and last month’s rent, and moving expenses, which can total over $10,000 out of pocket. This is how families who can afford their monthly rent still end up homeless. If you are in this situation or worried this may become your situation contact us immediately.
