Overview

I am a 52 year old maintenance worker on the weekends. I am from Chicago and have lived here for many years. Because of my limited income, my mother is allowing me to stay with her, but I would really like to be self-sufficient.

My goals are to have my own place to live and have a permanent job. I would like to be self-sufficient and independent.

I need to get funding to obtain a state identification card.

Meeting this need will help me because without an ID I am unable to apply for a job and housing program.

Chris is very motivated toward achieving his goals and is working hard to become more independent and self-sufficient.
