Lisa* first came to FP through our Navigating Hope van in December of 2021.
She had recently been granted a housing voucher and was living in a hotel until she could obtain stable housing.
Lisa was desperate to find an apartment that fit within the limits of the voucher she had waited so long for. For months, she worked hard to build her credit and save up in hopes of finding something.
After months of searching for apartments, Lisa was ready to give up. Luckily, FP’s Navigating Hope Resource Navigator helped Lisa write a formal request for an extension and it was approved! The very next week, Lisa was able to find an apartment with her voucher. Due to her diligence in saving, Lisa felt proud to able to use her own funds to pay the security deposit.
Lisa recently moved into her new home, which FP’s Navigating Hope and Making Moves Matter teams helped her furnish. She is so relieved to have a place of her own and looks forward to getting a job and buying a car soon.
We are so proud of Lisa and excited for this new chapter in her life!
