Lucy is 20 years old and a single mom with two young daughters. She works hard at a local care facility and was recently promoted to manager. She has the income to afford housing at a moderate price. And has been looking for a 2-bedroom rental but was repeatedly denied for lack of rental history. Lucy started meeting with Thrive staff about 6 months ago, and through working together, calling potential landlords, and obtaining letters of reference from her employer, was finally approved for her own apartment last month. This approval has given Lucy the ability to move out of her grandparent's home and create her own home. Her little girls are beyond thrilled to have their own bedroom.
