Momma E had to move her family into a motel room for the last few months because m any landlords are requiring 3x rent for deposits, even when an applicant has a good credit score!

I'm Holly Loper, the organizer for this fundraiser. I'm also an affordable housing professional. Hopefully we're friends already! Momma E and I connected through a mutual friend who knows that I have some insights navigating various programs. Momma E and I determined that assistance with a deposit is the most effective route to safe housing for her family.

Momma E says the living environment in Hamilton County has been close to work, and very positive and beneficial for her family, so she wants to find a way to stay in the area. She has found some rentals that are within reach except for the deposit - let's get her there!

• Momma E is a loving mother and an IU Health professional!
  Her youngest is still in elementary school, so she's looking forward to keeping him in the same Hamilton County school system
• Finding safe, sustainable housing has been a real challenge.
  'I'm drowning with no life jacket on" --Momma E, when explaining how she's been trying to keep up with living expenses while staying in a motel and also trying to save for a deposit
  
• Let's give Momma E and her family a one-time boost to get them into a safe, sustainable living situation!
  A good housing situation now can lead to future successes for Momma E and her sons, via proximity to work and school!
