HopePHL Helps Families Thrive

After Maria's spouse was incarcerated and her family faced eviction, her children's school referred her to HopePHL's Thrive program. They had lived in public housing a few years prior but after their eviction they moved in with family members. Dad was incarcerated again causing tensions and conflict with Maria's in-laws, making the living situation untenable.
 
A Thrive system navigator supported Maria in making a plan to attain her own housing with her children. Thrive also referred Maria to a partner mental health program to help her cope with trauma her family experienced.
 
As Maria began applying for her own housing, her credit score discouraged landlords from approving her applications. Thrive stepped in to guarantee a security deposit, adding a layer of security for the landlord. The 16-year-old has been referred to a teen program and Maria will be referred to more supportive social services once she has moved into her new residence.
