Until this past December, Carolyn Pitt was in a predicament that far too many Americans face. 

Pitt, a mother of two, has been working for the City of Emporia as a custodian since 2005. Until recently, she was stuck with no option but to rent a home in Emporia, as she could not afford to own a home herself.
