IHELP Statistics and Success Stories
Since January 1st, 2012 ~ TCAA has assisted 50 individuals in obtaining employment and 30 IHELP clients have obtained housing.
Another success story:
 | | Linda & Patrick Winters |
Linda came to IHELP needing a temporary place to stay. IHELP provided food, shelter and security. She had secured her Social Security income but was unable to find affordable housing in Tempe. She started going back to school to earn her associates degree while remaining in IHELP. TCAA provided her with resources for housing options and she was able to find a place of her own with a new housing development in Tempe. Furnishing Hope assisted her with furniture and she has moved into her new apartment. Linda continues to use TCAA for food options to supplement her income. Congratulations to Linda and her success! |
