Our next request also came from London Cares.
It is for 2 people in a family of 3. The third person is a veteran so has resources available through the Legion. All three family members have developmental delays. The three of them had been living in a one bedroom apartment and have secured a two bedroom. They have accessed funds through the London Cares Whatever It Takes fund, Ontario Works and the Housing Stability Bank. The Housing Stability Bank has provided the money for the first month rent, but they can not provide anything further as they are not actually recipients of the program. They have exhausted all other avenues for funding. The request is for last month’s rent ($1200) and a $300 key deposit.
We were happy to grant this request to give all three the dignity of having a little more space to live in.
