stories from home

Dennis Edgerton
Dennis had been homeless for almost two years after being assaulted while working as a cab driver and left partially blind and unable to work.  He moved into North Central Apartments in November of 2004.

“…without the hard work and dedication of all these people, I might not be celebrating my one-year anniversary in this great apartment.”   

Fran Perkalis and Verna Benne
Displaced by Hurricane Katrina, Fran and Verna became fast friends after moving into Shady Grove Apartments Fall 2005.

“We’d like to express appreciation and gratitude to the Red Cross for referring us to Humanities Foundation in which we now have a beautiful apartment…now we can say we are Katrina survivors.”
