For San Diego County's homeless, finding a safe place to sleep just got a little harder. A week ago the City of Vista pulled the plug on a program there. Cornerstone Christian Church opened its parking lot for people to sleep overnight in their cars. But the city said the program would need to apply for costly permits and undergo public hearings to continue. Dreams for Change, the organization running the program, still offers an overnight lot close to downtown San Diego. Reporter Acacia Squires brings us this story of one family taking advantage of it.

    You seem to be more miserable than she is. Even with your white skin, non low income housing and no "mulatto children" to worry about, you still have to wake up to the daily hell of just being you.

    I totally agree with you Mia Jadore. He must be the dad or a friend of the dad.

    If she needs child support thats fine, she needs to petition the court not drag her kids to California to sleep in a van.

    Yeah! strong woman you say, sleeping in a van with five children is not strong its incompatent and her husband divorced her and moved to other side of the country nothing was promised to her. This act was totally selfish she had a place to live in Michigan.

    Wow this is horrible. The dad promised housing if she moved and when she did he never provided housing! So now all her and her kids are homeless!!! This is crazy. Well at least she is keeping them so busy and letting them do normal things. A van is safer than those homeless shelters.GO MOMMA! She is a strong women.
