looking-for-a-way-home: To keep the kids out of the summer heat, the Silveys go to University Hospital, where they often spent afternoons at the Ronald McDonald House. Houberg meets them there to discuss their progress on negotiating a lease on a mobile home. She plans to get the couple about $640 toward a down payment through an LCFS program for families in dire situations. The Silveys are without a car since Charlie sold the starter for their Chevy Blazer to feed the kids. “You wanna be able to go in there and just do everything for them, but you just can’t,” Houberg says. “Its so hard. If your basic needs aren’t met then you can’t do this, this, and this.”
