At the age of 67, Vicki feels she is stable in her housing for the first time in 10 years.

She credits the support she received last year from WayForward. The financial assistance from our Housing Stability program helped cover entry costs so Vicki could move out of our service area into subsidized housing for seniors in another community. WayForward case managers work with Housing Stability program participants to solve immediate needs and work toward their long-term goals.

Once Vicki was settled in her new home, she was able to pay closer attention to her health. A month after relocating, she discovered she had cancer. It took some time to convince her doctors, but after surgical treatment she is now cancer-free.

Vicki says she gives a great deal of credit for her stability to the Housing Stability program and told her case manager that WayForward helped save her life.
