In a recent government meeting, a discussion unfolded regarding the living situation and ongoing challenges faced by a woman named Alexis, who has been navigating the complexities of housing and child custody after the passing of her grandmother. Alexis moved into her grandmother's rented house about a month ago, following her grandmother's death, and has been working to clean it out and make it her own.

During the meeting, Alexis explained that she had been primarily staying at her sister's house while transitioning to her new home, as she needed assistance in clearing out her grandmother's belongings. Despite her efforts to notify her caseworker, Yolanda, about her living situation, Alexis encountered communication issues, initially texting the wrong number provided by a transportation worker. This led to concerns from officials about her lack of communication over the past year.

Alexis has been employed at Tint Totem for three months and is currently on probation. She acknowledged the prolonged separation from her children, which has been a source of distress, and admitted that her past struggles with alcohol contributed to the situation. Although she stated that she last drank in May, her recollection of events surrounding her children's removal was inconsistent, raising questions about her accountability and progress.

The meeting highlighted the importance of stable housing and employment in Alexis's journey toward regaining custody of her children. Officials expressed concern over the delays in communication and the impact on her children's well-being. Alexis confirmed her intention to remain in her grandmother's house, which she is renting, and emphasized her commitment to maintaining stability in her life moving forward.

As the meeting concluded, the focus remained on ensuring that Alexis could effectively communicate with her caseworker and fulfill the necessary requirements to reunite with her children.
