Jessica F. needed housing assistance. She had a nine-month-old baby and another on the way and could barely scrape together money for monthly rent.
Rental assistance in the form of a Housing Choice Voucher became her life support. With this help, Jessica was able to start working toward financial independence through Housing Works’ PATHWorks program.
With a plan to pay off debt, strengthen her credit and find full-time employment, she realized that new possibilities were within reach. She completed homebuyer education, got approved for a mortgage loan–and now resides in her own home with her two girls.
Through hard work and dedication, Jessica also accumulated over $10,000 in her escrow savings account and has released her housing assistance. She plans to use the money for home improvements and an emergency savings account.
