After being on the voucher since 1999, I made a conscious decision to re-evaluate my assets…I realized I did not have any to evaluate. My fear of letting the program go had hindered me from obtaining any…I desired to show my five children that…you do not have to allow your current situation to define your future…Two years later, everything is different. On February 20th I closed on my own home, I graduated from the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program in June; and in December I will have my Master’s in Addiction Studies.
