CSA Makes A Difference For Homeless Union Member

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Among those assisted by the Community Services Agency this week is a Teamsters 639 member who’s been locked out in the ongoing Veolia strike and is now homeless. “She’s got a daughter and has been moving around from place to place,” says CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. “She found an apartment but couldn't afford the full rent and security deposit, so the Emergency Assistance Fund was able to help with that and she should be able to move in this weekend.” CSA depends on support through the United Way/CFC campaigns, going on now in workplaces throughout DC; click here for more on how to contribute and make a difference.
