Josephine*, 57, had been living with her two adult sons when the family could no longer afford the rent, and they all went their separate ways, trying to stay with friends, living in their cars and on the streets. Un-housed and losing hope, Josephine fell into substance use. Before long, HYC was able to assist Josephine with a housing choice voucher, which helped her reunite with her sons and get back into an apartment. As things began to look up, Josephine embarked on a path to sobriety and received Intensive Case Management Services through HYC. We assisted with furnishing the unit, two twin beds, a full-size bed, three dressers, a dining set, a sofa, and a love seat. Josephine and her sons are doing well. Her two sons are working, and she is happy and continues to work on her sobriety.  *Name changed
