Success Stories
Yrmaris
Yrmaris lost her job in 2020 as COVID-19 took hold of our community. Despite earnestly searching for employment during the shutdown, her options were severely limited. After weeks turned into months without income, she could no longer afford to pay rent and was forced to move with her two small children into the small apartment her sister lived in with her own family.
Housing insecurity, crowded living, lack of routine, and other tensions, often lead to feelings of instability and fear. Yrmaris recognized the need for help and reached out to Project HOPE Boston.
Determined to navigate through these adversities, Project HOPE supported Yrmaris with housing and educational assistance while her unwavering resilience and drive to support her family propelled her forward. With the help of Project HOPE's Housing Services team, Yrmaris was able to access available funding to cover her back rent and utilities. This support enabled her to get her family back on their feet.
