TESTIMONIALS
DORINE NGUYEN
"I have lived in my current building for the past 22 years. Over the years, I tried multiple times to move out of my bug-infested, deteriorating apartment, but it always felt impossible. I didn’t know where to start or how to navigate the housing options available to me. That changed when my case manager, Carolyn, referred me to Home & Community Care Services, a housing stabilization services provider. They were like heaven-sent helpers for me. They guided me through the entire process, helping me move to a brand-new building and transferring my Section 8 voucher from Ramsey County to Washington County. I wish I had found them sooner—I can’t imagine how I would have moved or where I would be mentally today without their support. Home & Community Care Services truly made what felt impossible, possible."

"I was given just one week to vacate my previous apartment because of some family issues. I was so stressed and worried that I’d end up homeless after that week. I reached out to my caseworker, and she connected me with Home & Community Care Services. I explained my situation to them, and even though they told me there’s usually a waiting period to get approved for Housing Stabilization Services, they didn't wait—they started helping me right away. Mohamed, a housing coordinator, contacted me and took me to my landlord’s office. He negotiated with my landlord to give me an extra month to stay, which was such a relief. After spending so much time working with me, Mohamed found me an income-based apartment where I only have to pay 30% of my income. This was life-changing for me because I was paying close to $1,100 a month at my old place. Now, I’m in a newer, more affordable apartment, and I can’t thank Mohamed enough for everything he’s done. He’s even helping me get furniture through Bridging, and I can’t wait to see my new place fully furnished. Home & Community Care Services truly saved me during one of the hardest times of my life."
