Felicita Flores
Felicita had a dream that one day she would own her own home. Through
one of Norwalk Housing Authority's many mailings to public housing and
Section 8 residents, Felicita's dream seemed closer. In October 1997,
Norwalk Housing Authority looking to fill a few rare FSS slots gave
Felicita and her family the opportunity she thought would never come.
A single mother of three boys ages, 15, 14, 4, and a daughter 2 years
old, Felicita works to support her family and pay her portion of rent
on her three bedroom apartment. Felicita explains. "Having four
children, working and only basically maintaining things is a struggle."
The Family Self Sufficiency Program became the way foe Felicita and
her family to own their own home. It became their way to A PIECE OF
THE AMERICAN DREAM. Officially beginning the FSS program in November
1997, Felicita was on her journey to homeownership. In January 2003,
Felicita purchased a four family (multi-family) home in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Felicita had a deam. She followed the vision. Now she too is enjoying
what the fruit of her labor brought. Congratulations to Felicita and
her family. Now they are able to live their dream.
