Rhode Island Vet Finds Affordable Apartment After Struggles
U S Navy veteran Stephen Matthews, 55, photographed in Warwick, recounts how a 2015 driveway fall left him neck injured and laid off. Evicted, he and wife slept in their car as children stayed with relatives until a voucher covered about two thirds of rent. A West Warwick apartment was finally secured in late December 2016 after a six month search.
