Woman Opens Home to Disabled Man Under Shelter Plan
Helen Gillaspie of Hiawatha offered her house to 40 year old Cedar Rapids man Ron Coffin in need of a living arrangement. The pair avoid state red tape by a mutual arrangement under the Certified Family Life Home Program to provide room and board. Coffin pays 225 dollars a month and does chores while Gillaspie cooks, cleans, and shares activities. DSS notes ongoing need for homes to prevent delays in placements. interested parties may call 398-3950.
