Robert moved to Arkansas from Nevada with his daughter Cali to care for his mother; however, living arrangements didn’t allow them to move in together, leaving Robert to scramble for a new home. Robert believes it was fate when he drove past Our House! As a single father, Robert and Cali moved straight into a private room in our Family Housing units. The responsibilities of being a single parent made it difficult for Robert to keep work and earn the money he would like to, but Bright Beginnings quickly found a spot for Cali to enroll, where she will stay until Kindergarten. Robert began work at the Our House Resale Store until he found his footing, and he has now transitioned to full-time employment doing warehouse work. Robert’s case manager got him connected to funding from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, and through working our savings program, Robert has taken care of several debts. Robert was able to complete our Positively Parenting course, where he learned many new skills to create a safe, loving parenting relationship with Cali. Robert and Cali have just moved out into their own duplex, but they stay connected to Our House through Bright Beginnings and our Stability Program, and Robert’s case manager remains a great sounding board for him. Robert has always been a hard worker focused on supporting his family, and Our House was just the boost he needed to stay on the right path.
