Linda had been
homeless for quite some time. She stayed at relatives’ houses, on friends’
couches, in motels, in short- and long-term shelters. Not having a
mailing address and a working phone made it difficult for people to reach her,
so she often used the phone at Lutheran Community Services to talk to 211 – the
information helpline – for screening and the next temporary housing placement.
Linda is 63. Her husband, a veteran, passed away. Linda receives his VA pension
so is able to pay a subsidized rent in an ongoing manner …if she were able to
work out the logistics involved in finding a place to move in to and
communicating with them. With LCS’s help, Linda was able to meet these
challenges. LCS was able to provide her with the security deposit she needed
for Sacred Heart Village, a low income apartment community, where she lives
today in her own place.
