Accommodation Support
A couple, both diagnosed with a developmental disability, learned their apartment had bed bugs, and as a result, the landlord of the building removed all furniture believed infected. In the weeks that followed, the couple’s Case Manager came to visit and discovered the couple had been sleeping on fold-up chairs in their living room, as they had little money to replace their furniture and were embarrassed to ask for assistance.
The Margaret Gallow Unmet Client Needs Fund provided them with a bed, sheets, pillows, a comforter, some small furniture, and bed bug prevention to allow them the dignity they deserved in their own home.
