Families across Adams and Southern Weld County are living in situations that are unstable or not met for permanent housing. Families and individuals live on the streets, in their cars, in motels, doubled-up with family and friends, or are in Emergency Shelter. In 2021, our partner at the 27J School District made a referral to Almost Home because they were highly concerned about the health and wellbeing of a family. A family of 7 was living in unsafe and unsanitary living conditions. They were living in an RV without any plumbing or heat, and the RV was infested with mice.

 

We immediately sprang to action and admitted this family of 2 adults and 5 children into our largest room in our Family Emergency Shelter. The family was experienced intense feelings of gratitude for the safety and comfort of our Family Emergency Shelter, and immediately began working with our team to secure housing. With the support of re-housing case management, they signed a lease and moved into permanent, safe, and healthy housing. The family now lives in their own 3-bedroom apartment with 3 months of ongoing home and community-based case management to support their long-term success. With the father’s income, the family has the resources to fully maintain their rental and never have to spend another night in that unsafe RV again.
