Summary

Follow the inspirational story of a single father who loses everything and finds his family homeless. After moving from shelter to shelter, he and his three children find solace in MIFA Housing, where they have an apartment of their own and learn skills that will help them in the future.  For this family, MIFA Housing is truly a miracle.

Seventy-five percent of families leaving MIFA Housing move directly into permanent housing.
