My name is Kathy and I am a resident at Glen Ellen Mutual Housing Community. I moved 2 years ago when my life almost stopped at a roadblock. My son had paranoia and mental disabilities and he was getting ambushed by a gang that he did not want to join. Where we lived was in a small 3 bedroom apartment in a gang and violence-ridden neighborhood. It was not safe to walk alone on the streets. Education was not the priority of any kids or families.<\/p>\n

When my daughter helped me find Glen Ellen Mutual Housing Community, I could never have been happier. I like how small and intimate the community is because it is easier to make friends with our neighbors. I like the support group that we have within the community. I like the events and meetings that we have so that we can learn new things about the community and deal with issues that we have affecting us. I am happier that we have a computer lab that we can use to fill in applications for jobs and reconnect with families on social media. One day I used the computer lab at Glen Ellen Mutual Housing Community and I found my long lost sister named Sherry that I never knew I had. I immediately reconnected with her and we are now planning a family reunion that would get all of our family together to meet her.<\/p>\n

I really don’t know what I would do without Mutual Housing or if I could live anywhere else but here. Without the opportunities that we have here and the support from our manager Bonnie and Community Organizer, Crystal, I would have never get the chance to meet my sister and find better housing for my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
