ORLANDO - Katy-Ann White and her family are among the many no longer experiencing homelessness thanks to Family Promise’s program.
Homeless after getting evicted from their apartment several weeks earlier, White remembers sitting outside in the cold with her five sons, including one who was just 2 months old at the time, at a park in an Orlando neighborhood where they had moved to from Miami a few months prior. They had nowhere to go to warm up, eat, or rest. The money they had made from selling candy on the streets until the wee morning hours, just to stay in hotel rooms, was gone.
