FSS Success Story

Artisha — FSS Graduate — Homeowner

Artisha is a recent graduate of FSS who recently became a homeowner with help from her FSS Escrow account. During her participation in FSS, Artisha obtained a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and graduated Cum Laude with a grade point average of 3.5. While in school she had a second child but was able to care for her children, attend classes, work part time and complete class assignments.

Artisha began her employment as a Stay-in-School program participant at a local agency where her work schedule revolved around her class schedule. Eventually she secured a permanent, professional series position as a Grants Management Specialist. She has now been employed for nine years.

Artisha worked with homeownership coordinator, Susan Cheney, and attended several financial seminars and budgeting and energy conservation workshops to prepare for homeownership. And now she is homeowner!

During the period of her participation in FSS, Artisha has had to resolve serious challenges to her well-being, which she has successfully done. She now is committed to a healthy lifestyle for herself and her daughters and says she feels blessed to have had an opportunity to participate in the FSS program.
