A 17-year-old boy who lives with his elderly maternal grandmother needs to obtain his driver's license. He is a very responsible teenager who goes to school regularly, has a job, is involved in multiple sports, and uses his extra time to spend it with his family. He not only needs his driver's license so that he step into adulthood properly, but he also wants to be able to visit his parents who don't live close, be able to go to school/games/work without delay waiting on other people, and be able to get his sister to and from school and other services she needs because she also lives with her paternal grandmother and she works hours that sometimes interfere with getting her to and from school.

The family is involved in a domestic violence situation, which has caused a lot of financial strain. Mother is in the process of starting to gain financial independence after this DV situation.

A single mom with a teenage son has allowed a friend/single mom and her two children to move into their apartment. There is not room for extra beds, but an queen size air mattress for the second mom, storage bins for clothes, and children's clothes themselves would help these two families organize the space they are sharing.

The Department has PMC of the two children in need as their parents are awaiting trial in jail and have not been a big part of the children't lives in two years.

I have a single mother with 5 children, ranging from high school age through elementary age. The family is currently living in their car, and with this Texas heat I am worried about them being able to keep cool. Mom has been trying to get the children to stay at friends' houses for relief. Mother has been calling shelters daily, but her two oldest children are males in highschool and the shelters will not allow them to stay in the women and children's shelter. Or the shelter will tell Mother that she has too many children, and the shelter does not have enough beds for them. There is a weekly hotel nearby, for $550 the week or $2,200 for the month. Any amount of assistance would be appreciated. The number one need is for stable housing for this family. Do any churches have an apartment or a space they family could live in until Mom is able to get on her feet?

there is a large family who have almost no furniture in the home. they have a pile of dirty clothes because they have no washer or dryer. the family has a low income and needs help. Updated on August 30, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Some of the items in the request have been fulfilled (all of the car and booster seats) by the CAC. The family only needs beds, mattresses, bed sheets, and a washer/dryer now. They need the washer/dryer most of all. Those are items that the CAC cannot really obtain. There are 6 kids in the home- 8 yo girl 6 yo boy (with autism) 5 yo girl 3 yo boy 2 yo boy And a 1 yo girl This family would greatly benefit from a washer/dryer and would actually eliminate many of the concerns CPS has been receiving about the family
