CHC Success Story:
Holding On to Home Through Hardship
Recipient: Jeffrey
Hardship: Job Loss
CHC Assistance: $5,197
For nearly two years, Jeffrey searched for employment after being laid off from a well-paying leadership position. He struggled to find a company that valued his years of experience and expertise.
The months passed, and the financial strain became overwhelming. Jeffrey and his family found themselves facing the heartbreaking possibility of losing their home.
Jeffrey shared that he had always been in a position to help others, and never imagined his own family would one day need that same support. As their burden grew, Jeffrey began to lose hope, wondering whether they would ever recover.
That’s when the Colorado Homeownership Coalition (CHC) stepped in. CHC helped bring his family's mortgage current, easing an immediate financial crisis and giving them the stability and breathing room to move forward without the looming threat of losing their home.
Jeffrey also credits Teronda, his HUD-approved housing counselor, for the compassion and guidance she provided throughout the process. Her support made an especially meaningful difference during an incredibly difficult time.
Today, Jeffrey's family is in a much stronger position. Three months ago, he accepted a leadership opportunity with an organization that values his expertise. After such a challenging search, the new role marks an important step toward rebuilding the stability he worked so hard to achieve.
Reflecting on the experience, Jeffrey shared:
"My wife, my children, and I are absolutely blown away by the kindness and generosity we have received. I never imagined we would find ourselves in a position where we needed this kind of help. What you have done for our family means more than words can express. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
Jeffrey's story reminds us that financial hardship can affect anyone—regardless of career or past circumstances. And sometimes, the right support at the right time can make all the difference.
Thanks to the generosity of CHC supporters, Jeffrey's family received critical assistance that helped protect their home and gave them the opportunity to move forward with renewed confidence.
