Laurie's Story | Middleton Outreach Ministry

Meet Laurie, a Case Manager at MOM. Her job is to help families stay in their homes and maintain stability.

Through the Preventing Homelessness programs at Middleton Outreach Ministry, Case Managers provide housing counseling and financial mentoring, which helps prevent eviction and assists in maintaining long-term stable housing. Aid for rent, security deposits, utilities and other critical needs make the difference in a crisis.

Case Managers also make sure that families are registered for the Food Pantry, which they can use as often as they need. With the ability to always have access to food, people no longer need to worry about being "food insecure" and can focus their resources on their other urgent and necessary bills. The Case Management team provides the support that they need to pull together all of the pieces that MOM offers as well as other community resources to get back on their feet.

In 2011, the housing assistance programs alone provided aid to 475 families.
