SUSAN LEST GETS A HOME IN SUN VALLEY AFTER MONTHS IN HER CAR IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD

We're linking to the recent article in the Daily News, front page, which features an article about Susan Lest, who got housing through LA Family Housing. We're truly happy that Susan has had a short stay in her car and got help so quickly. She was a senior citizen effected by rising costs and the recession and lost her Valley Village apartment.

We know there are more funds and help available for seniors then there are for younger people, and we know of many people whose case manager put big pressure on them to "go mental" in order to get SSI or SSDI, who felt they had to cheat the system to get housing.

We caution you then, when reading journalist Susan Abram's peice, to consider that it comes off as a PR piece for LA Family Housing. Susan's experience is not the experience of every person that LA Family Housing helps. We know this, because we get a lot of complaints on the street and elsewhere.
