Crystal is a single woman who has been working and maintaining her home and livelihood over the past 8 years without additional assistance. She came to UCM in August 2014 for rental assistance after unexpected income loss due to cancer and chemo treaments. Her savings and care coverage plan had been drained by paying her rent, in addition to other new expenses including medication and medical supplies. Crystal had expected to return to work in July hoping to use that income to cover her August rent. However, her doctor did not feel comfortable releasing her due to various risk factors associated to her recovery.
With the help of Fairfax County's Coordinated Services Planning group and special grant funding, UCM helped Crystal to pay her rent and also to receive groceries at our Food Pantry. Crystal’s UCM counselor has stayed in touch with her and reports that Crystal is doing well. She is very grateful for the assistance and the groceries that helped along the way.
