Liz and her family are looking forward
The apartment belonging to Liz and her twin daughters Nataly and Liz is full of everything that makes a house a home. On a late Friday afternoon, dinner is cooking on the stove, filling the apartment with yummy smells, fun music is playing, and the girls are working on their homework (so that they can enjoy the weekend).
The family entered the Simpson Transitional Housing program three years ago. They received help finding an affordable place to live, help paying the rent, and Liz and her Simpson advocate Cincere worked together to make sure Liz honed the skills to maintain their housing.
“Liz was extremely determined and persistent. She always had great follow through, which really helped the family get to where they are today,” says Cincere. A year ago the family graduated to the Simpson Rental Assistance Program (RAP). The RAP program is for families who have settled into housing and need a little more time to make sure they achieve all their program goals.
“Anytime I had any problems, Simpson provided me with the necessary resources to solve the issues,” says Liz. “During the Christmas season, Simpson volunteers provided gifts for my girls that put smiles on both of their faces. Without Simpson giving us a hand in our lives, we would not be where we are today.”
