THE ROOT CAUSE OF FAMILY HOMELESSNESS
IS A LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
In North Central Worcester County there are no other “family shelters”.
|
| Imagine a family losing their home or apartment to fire with nowhere to go. Motels are expensive and soon the family runs out of money. |
 |
 |
Imagine a family member, neighbor, or friend; someone you know who works everyday to provide for their family, is injured on the job. While recovering, disability payments don’t go far enough. The family falls behind on their rent. Suddenly the family finds themselves facing eviction. |
| Imagine a single mother caring for two school age boys. Without warning she gets laid-off. Without an income it doesn't take long before they are without a place to live. |
 |
 |
This is how easily homelessness happens. It happens often. It can happen to anyone, maybe even you.
Families faced with homelessness typically have to leave the area to find help. A forced move at a time of crisis causes more problems. Children are uprooted, separated from schools and friends. Parents may have to give up a job. Support provided by family and friends may be lost. |
