Doris

Doris had lived in her current apartment for ten years. She was thriving and had overcome struggles with anxiety and mobility limitations. She began services with OTSS when her landlord notified her that in three months, her lease would not be renewed, and that the owner was selling the property. Doris and her housing coordinator worked relentlessly to find a home that accepted her housing assistance voucher and was in the same neighborhood to create as much consistency as possible. Although any move has anxiety involved, it was the mission of her housing coordinator to do all that he could to move in a smooth transition. A new home was found, and Doris was able to work with her housing coordinator after moving to create new routines and re-establish old routines.
