Loretta: Falling Through Gaps

Loretta lived in an area of King County where it is hard to get social services. She had no income other than an unpredictable amount she gets sporadically. Her Section 8 based rent rate (Section 8 housing is a federal housing voucher program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market), was calculated on what she got at the time of review earlier this year. The good news is she had a job interview and was hopeful her situation would improve. She managed to pay $79 of her rent and SVdP covered the last $100 to prevent eviction.
