Good morning --

I just heard about a family needing help to avoid living in cars -- family of four was recently evicted due to the home being sold.  They left the home as they felt required and are now in an extended stay.  The mother has a good paying job and a part-time job (working 70 hours per week) and her 3 children are all young adults (one autistic and one in college at PLU) so they make too much for a lot of programs but they are quickly falling farther behind and will not be able to keep this up much longer.  They are a black family doing everything right and yet on the verge of living in their cars.

I’m still not familiar enough with all the services or resources out there to know where to send them -- help!
