Helping Families Find Homes
Yin-Quin is a single mother of a three-year-old daughter who had been living in a single room occupancy (SRO) unit for over 10 years. The living condition in the building was deteriorating. There was rodent infestations inside and around her unit. Her little girl had to go the the ER twice to get treatment for insect bites. That caught the attention of the hospital staff and they were very concerned.
Our case manager and a Public Health Nurse stepped in to help. First Yin-Quin received general assistance to purchase a new mattress. Then they wrote letters to the San Francisco Housing Authority which helped expedite Yin-Quin's application for low-income housing. She was finally able to live in a unit with its own bathroom and kitchen, a roomier place where she and her daughter can call home.
