Her family received housing assistance and supportive services in the areas of employment, education, budgeting, and child care.
She reminisces that her experience with the KEYS case management, which she called “one of the most beneficial components of the program; it motivated my family to do more than we would have done on our own.” Ms. Elizabeth and her family celebrate having a stable place to call home.
