The 97 year old homeless woman from LA is no longer sleeping on the streets. Her story, published Friday in the LA Times, garnered national disbelief and prompted service providers to act quickly to move her into housing.
Bessie Mae Berger was 97 years old and living in a beat up 1973 Chevy Suburban with her two sons. The LA Times exposed their plight on Friday, detailing how the trio sleeps, moves from parking lot to parking lot, and occasionally panhandles for food. Their plight caught national attention, prompting LA and California authorities to take immediate action.
Today, the three are safely housed – together, as they wished – in the California Retirement Villa. It’s a temporary situation, currently slated to last three months. But the organization says they are committed to helping this family obtain long-term benefits.
Let’s breathe a collective sigh of relief now that one especially fragile woman and her two elderly sons are off the streets. What whatever you do, don’t get complacent. There are thousands of other elderly homeless individuals hidden in cars, alleys, tent cities, and shelters across the U.S.
Where is the outrage that will move them into housing?
