The father in this case has been struggling for some time to meet the needs of his 3 children. 2 of them are specifically very high needs, one is diagnosed with autism and the other is in the process of being diagnosed. He has been working hard to catch up on his rent and has been putting nearly every paycheck towards keeping his modest home that the children are excited about living in with him. It has not been enough. He is behind 1500, 400 from last month and 1100 from this month. After having this issue since December the property manager has declined to work with him any longer and will proceed with eviction, leaving the father homeless and the children without a home to reintegrate into. The father has advised this worker that he was originally given 30 days, but now the property management has given him a notice that it must be paid by 5:00 tomorrow or he will be taken to court. Thank you for reading this and any assistance will help. If the full need is not able to be met by the deadline, the case team will return any contribution provided.

Half of this repair has been taken care of already. Unfortunately this father is not able to pick up his car without the other half of the payment and he is having a difficult time coming up with the rest. This father uses this car to pick up his daughter from school for visits, since the car has been in the shop for weeks he has missed out on precious time with his daughter which slows the process of reunification. With this weight lifted this father will be able to focus on his daughter and then bring her back home sooner.

Placement (aunt) took in her nieces this last week and are converting their office into the girls bedroom. Currently all bio-kids are sleeping in the parents room so that the girls can sleep in a bed. DCF requires the girls to have their own beds by a certain amount of time so that placement can keep the girls. This would be a huge help as the girls did not come with any of their own bedding or clothes so aunt is buying them all new things and "foster" proofing their house to meet regulation requirements.
