Tim and LeeAnn applied for AHI at the beginning of 2024 and successfully moved into their apartment in July of the same year. At the time, Tim was working as a special education teacher and faced challenges after his partner lost her job. The family struggled to manage rent, daily expenses, and the additional costs of maintaining Tim’s teaching credentials and licenses, all of which created a substantial financial burden. AHI provided an ability to stay local and continue serving the community, while also allowing the family to focus on financial stability and career growth.
“LeeAnn and I are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received through the AHI Housing program. When we applied, we were facing significant challenges. LeeAnn had lost her job and made the courageous decision to return to school to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. Meanwhile, I was working as a special education teacher and preparing to start my master’s program. We knew that stable, affordable housing was essential to achieving our long-term goals, and AHI provided exactly that.
Thanks to the stability AHI Housing has given us, I’ve been able to dedicate myself to my teaching career and focus on completing my master’s degree by next Fall. LeeAnn has excelled in her nursing program and is on track to become licensed by this time next year. Having a secure home has lifted a significant financial burden, allowed us to concentrate on our education, and brought us peace of mind. It’s been life-changing for both our mental health and day-to-day well-being.
AHI has truly been a blessing. It has laid the foundation for us to save for the future, build our careers, and work towards the dream of owning a home.”
