Urban Strategies, Inc. March 2025 Update: As of March 2025, the USI Newport News team has completed assessments for 209 families. A resident meeting was held on March 27 in the Lift & Rise on Jefferson community room, where Urban Strategies engaged with residents to offer available services, support, and guidance. The meeting provided assistance to those in need of financial support for rent and other household necessities. March Success Story: This month's success story highlights the perseverance and determination of a resident who overcame significant housing challenges. Facing housing instability at the end of 2024, she was at risk of eviction due to an outstanding water bill. With the support of a family support specialist, relocation coordinator, and the housing authority, she was able to resolve the issue and avoid eviction. Determined to create a better future for herself and her four-year-old daughter, she applied for housing at Legacy Landing. Despite delays due to construction setbacks, she remained committed to the process. Even during moments of frustration and uncertainty, she stayed focused on securing stable housing. At the beginning of March, she received the keys to her new apartment at Legacy Landing, marking the start of a new chapter for her family. Her next goals include securing employment at the new Early Childhood Center next to Legacy Landing and enrolling her daughter in early childhood programs as she prepares for kindergarten in the fall. With resilience and determination, she looks forward to embracing new opportunities in her community.
