A homeless woman who takes care of her disabled brother during the day while holding down a job at night has discovered that finding a place to live, even with her brother eligible for housing assistance, has proved nearly impossible.

to find housing with a Section 8 voucher. She has been living out of her car while he sleeps in a family member's apartment.

Trying to complete a housing search that has lasted a year, Latrice says the best approach is in-person, and this morning it paid off. "Yeah, they have to do a screening to find out if he has to pay an additional amount, besides the $900 deposit," she said."I'm hoping it's just $900." One of them was the agency where her brother previously received help, the North Bay Housing Coalition in Fairfield. They agreed to loan her the money, repaid in installments of $300. And it's the kind of emergency help that is often needed to save a housing search like this one.

It would take two more days and an assist from the city itself, but the last issue was resolved, the paperwork could be signed, and the keys were finally in hand.
