What our clients are saying

"A mother of two came to CAANH seeking assistance finding a new home because she believed she could not afford her current rent since her husband was deported. The Case Manager worked with the client to create a detailed budget sheet to identify unnecessary spending that could go toward paying her bills. The client realized that if she sticks with the budget she will be able to keep her apartment. The case manager also assisted her with obtaining a second job to provide additional income."

"A 44-year-old woman, who was a domestic violence victim, was homeless and living in her car when she came to CAANH for assistance. The case manager worked with the customer to provide basic needs items, and food and secured a spot in a Domestic Violence shelter so that she is no longer sleeping in her vehicle."
