Story: Read about a success story in Hamilton Family Center's Emergency Center: Originally from Peru, the Espinoza-Aybar family immigrated to San Francisco five years ago. They became homeless when the mother lost her job at a flower vendor that closed due to lack of business, and the family’s home burned down around the same time. During their stay at Hamilton Family Residences, the father has successfully maintained full-time employment as a dishwasher in a restaurant and the mother gave birth to a healthy baby boy. An adult daughter and the third caregiver in the family is now a full-time student at City College. In combination with English classes, she is currently working toward completing her high school education. The family has saved over a thousand dollars during their stay, meaning that when they do find permanent housing, they’ll have money for a security deposit.
