Danielle's Fresh Start

"I never thought I'd be able to provide a stable home for my daughter. The EBC Homes Program gave us both a chance at a better future."

A Mother's Determination

As a single mother working as a certified nursing assistant, Daiella struggled to find affordable housing while caring for her 5-year-old daughter. Moving from one temporary situation to another, she worried about the impact on her child's education and stability.

"I was working full-time at the hospital, but childcare costs and rent were eating up everything I earned. We were staying with different family members, and I could see how the constant moving was affecting my daughter."

Finding Support

A social worker at the hospital connected Daiella with the EBC Homes Program. Through their emergency housing assistance program, she received help with rental deposits and access to affordable housing units reserved for healthcare workers.

"The program coordinator understood my situation immediately. She didn't judge me for needing help – she just focused on finding solutions."

Building Stability

Within three months, Daiella and her daughter moved into a two-bedroom apartment in a family-friendly complex with on-site childcare and after-school programs. The program also connected her with financial literacy classes and career advancement opportunities.

"Having our own place changed everything. My daughter could finally have her own room, make friends in the neighborhood, and attend the same school consistently."

Looking Forward

Today, Daiella is pursuing her RN degree through a program partnership while maintaining stable housing. Her daughter is thriving in school and has made lasting friendships in their community.

"This program didn't just give us an apartment – it gave us a foundation to build our dreams on. My daughter sees me studying for my nursing degree, and she knows that with hard work and the right support, anything is possible."
