The client system that I work with includes men, women and children from various backgrounds that have been displaced for various reasons. Currently, I am working with a family of four which includes a mother, father and 2 children, an 8 year old year girl from a previous relationship and a 2 and half year old boy together. My initial assessment of them is that they were all dressed appropriately. However, during my intake with SF, the odor of cigarettes was extremely strong that the window had to be opened. SF is a 42 year old Caucasian female who is an unemployed, United States citizen, married, and slightly overweight. She has no friends, no interest, and doesn’t go anywhere. Her entire life revolves around her husband and two children. Sf appears to be a very bright, ambitious and caring lady who lives for the love of her husband and children. Her husband also with the initials SF, is a 43 year old United States citizen, unemployed Caucasian male. Both parents have been together since they were in high school and once they graduated, they remained together on and off.
The family of four was referred to Belmont Homes Housing Services by the social services due to their current living situation. This family has been residing in a motel since being evicted from their permanent residence. SF is skilled in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) but will accept any job he can obtain to
