After leaving the only home he’s ever known, Horacio made his way from Nicaragua to Canada to build a better life for his family.
Horacio found his first permanent home through ehm’s Residence Program. With stable housing and employment secured, things were coming together. But like many when the pandemic hit, Horacio lost his job.
After bumping into Tenant Support Worker Nigel, casual small talk about losing his job quickly turned into an action plan. Nigel stepped in to ensure Horacio applied for financial assistance so he wouldn’t lose his home and could pay his bills. Together they worked on Horacio’s resume and submitted several job applications.
Horacio’s short-term goals include finding employment and with ehm in his corner, he’s confident that he will receive a job offer very soon. Looking forward, he is still working hard to create a brighter future here for his wife and child and he cannot wait to be reunited with them.
