“With JCEO making my security deposit it impacts my life. I am homeless due to the place I lived having no heat and lights. I have been in the hospital due to the conditions of the place caused many medical conditions. I am in a shelter. I have very little income. I am so thankful for all the people who have helped me get this apartment. JCEO has paid my security deposit, this frees up money to buy a few things for the apartment.”
