This month we had a father and three kids come to us seeking shelter. They had run out of funds and had to vacate the motel they had been staying at. We immediately connected them with Cascade Youth & Family, who were able to secure a better housing situation for them. While they waited for that transition, we let them reside in one of the private meeting rooms to ensure as much privacy as possible. During their stay with us, the father continued working, and the child continued attending school. The fact that they maintained employment and the support from their school was a massive success for the entire family.
