Hello CarePortal Family! I have a family that has recently fallen on some hard times. A mother and two children (both under 5) are being evicted from their home and have to be out of the home by Sunday (6/15/25). The family has nowhere to go and needs help with emergency housing. This is a single mom doing the best she can and just trying to provide for her two young children. Mom recently lost her job due to an older sibling that would help watch his younger siblings no longer being in the home and mom lost that support. Mom just recently applied for food stamps and is applying for new jobs to try and get back on track with stable employment and funds. Mom is still going to need help with babysitting her other two children while she works during this time and is working to establish supports in the community in this area. She is doing everything she can to try and get back on her feet even though she has very little support in TN. The family moved here from Mississippi within the last couple years as a fresh start and doing the best they can during a difficult time. We are asking for help for this family with an emergency hotel room for a week while mom continues to apply for jobs and assistance. DCS will have a meeting during this time to continue to gameplan with mom about next steps and anymore assistance is needed.
