“I’d rather be homeless with my dog, than leave my dog behind,” said Kenneth Brown, an injured truck driver living in Prescott, Ariz.

Brown, who lived in a low-rent motel with his dog, faced homelessness as the motel was foreclosing. Catholic Charities staff, Milissa Koel, reached out to the motel’s residents to assist in finding new homes.

The Flores struggled to find an affordable place to live, but due to their low income and pets, they couldn't find one. George worked as a day laborer when he could find work and Lydia was on medical leave from her job as a janitor at a local college. After facing the option of being homeless in the freezing temperatures, the Flores contacted Catholic Charities to see if they could qualify for help.
