Hanna is a single working mother of 3 young children. Hanna was working full time and able to support the family on her income. Hanna had her hours reduced at work which decreased her income. She was able to stay current with her rent but dollars were stretched and she fell behind with her electric bill. Hanna was directed to CMHA/Housing Counseling and met with one of our counselors to see if we could intervene. If she was not able to pay the utility arrears of $325 they would shut off her electricity. Using HFH funds the Housing Counselor made a commitment to the electric company for $325 which stopped the shut off of electricity.
