Proceeds from the Winter Raffle help people like Ken and Laney.
- Ken’s home was a tent under a bridge when he met the Care Service Street Outreach team. For 14 years the 48-year-old, who suffers from schizophrenia, had been homeless. Care Service staff helped Ken apply for a housing assistance voucher to supplement his monthly disability check and advocated to landlords on his behalf. Once an apartment was located, the Care Service provided a deposit, and first month’s rent. For the first time in years Ken feels safe and is paying his bills on his own.
- Laney’s three small boys suffered from on-going health issues due to mold in their small, two-bedroom apartment. The 27-year-old single mom’s landlord was unwilling to resolve the problem. With nowhere else to turn, Laney reached out to the Care Service. Laney found a mobile home she could afford to rent but had no money for the deposit. The Care Service stepped in to assist with the rent deposit and a staff member provided Laney with the on-going support she needed to settle her family in their new safe, clean home.
