Happy mum and daughter

Atalia* and her daughter contacted Monte Cecilia for help because they were living in a car for the past three months and couch surfing at friend’s homes. Their situation was highly stressful for Atalia’s daughter who was getting strep throat constantly and feeling down about not having a place to call home. 

Monte Cecilia were able to source a Monte Cecilia Community Housing house and move the family straight into this long-term housing solution, skipping Transitional Housing altogether. 

Atalia has said that her and her daughter are incredibly happy in their new home, and that Atalia’s daughter has already begun being creative in setting up her own bedroom for the years to come.
