Housing

The FRS came to pick up LG for his visit this morning and I was asking her about Dad and his housing situation etc. She said that he is going to be going through the agency's FUP (Family Unification Program) and then he will be eligible to receive Section 8 housing which will ensure he has a decent home for the baby to live in. The $400 he can afford now isn't going to be the kind of housing that would really be good for a child to grow up in...not in his city anyway! He is in week 2 of a 12 week parenting course. I was informed that one week in the evening LG will need to go to class with him for a hands-on task. Sure! That's his fussy time, so that will be great for Dad to get his feet wet-lol! So...no real news except that LG will be staying here for several more months! I'm interested to hear more about the FUP program. She was running late so I didn't hound her, but all I know is that there will be unsupervised visits at some point. Oh..and I guess Mom is really making an effort this time around too!!! With the drug intervention program she attends (this is her 3rd time going through) she has for the first time finished the intervention portion (30 day) of the program and now is entering into phase 1!! All the workers who have been with her for over 3 years now are astounded!!! So...everything is moving forward and status quo! LM's case is right where it has been which is just fine with me! I am hoping the next month goes quickly and that God grants us huge amounts of grace and mercy at the next court hearing!! Praying that doesn't get dragged out for too many more months!
