From the Archives

Here’s something from the vault. This is a story I shot for City Limits last winter about a family who received a homelessness prevention subsidy that was threatened by budget cuts. Their one-bedroom Bronx apartment was too small for three kids and their mom, but they couldn’t afford a larger apartment. Who knows where they’d be without the subsidy.

The family was very focused on education and on each other. It was nice to see a family who was making it work somehow, despite really stressful circumstances.

I’m using initials in the captions because one of the subjects asked me to after the story was published.
