I first applied for an affordable housing voucher in 1993.

I finally got a call back in 2004 to tell me my son who just graduated high school couldn’t be on my lease.

Today in 2022 I finally got a letter telling me I made it to the top of the waiting list. I have no words.

Happy #ValentinesDay! 💌A member of the 397th Infantry Division Regiment during WWII, Sgt. Theodore Ryley illustrated a loving V-Mail message for his sweetheart, Lee Leahy. Ryley would later receive a Silver Star for his bravery during the Battle of Rimling in January 1945.
