Family Housing Advisory Services -- Terrence is a senior citizen with mental and physical disabilities, lacking the resources to advocate for himself in the face of exploitation. He found himself under constant threat of eviction from his property manager. She demanded he loan her money without the promise of ever paying him back, eventually receiving $15,000 from Terrence. The Sheriff’s Department intervened and referred him to the Fair Housing Center operated by Family Housing Advisory Services, a United Way partner. The center helped him file a complaint with HUD and obtained the services of an attorney. After being notified of the Fair Housing complaint, the property manager agreed to compensate more than $13,000 to settle the case. Your United Way donation helped this vulnerable adult protect his finances and secure stable housing.
