Mrs. Cruz was working as a house cleaner when she had to take some time off work to care for her newborn baby. With the gap in employment she found that her current housing expenses were not sustainable. She located an affordable housing unit, but needed financial assistance to ensure she had stable housing for her and her family. She applied to HIF through one of our partner agencies and we were able to assist the family with the security deposit to help get them into their new home.
“I’m very grateful for the EHF program. I was going through a challenging situation and was referred to HIF. They answered me quickly and approved me for security deposit assistance. This allowed me to move my family into affordable housing. Thanks to your organization I was able to put my children in a safer place. Thank you for helping me feel less stressed.”
