  Aug 3, 202657 min

  Elizabeth Howard grew up navigating instability on Detroit’s east side. When her apartment became overrun with pests and her family was displaced, she didn't just find a shelter—she found an advocate. A COTS staff member didn't hand her a pamphlet; they packed her car and moved her to safety themselves. Now, Elizabeth is in a better position to pay it forward to her children and her community. The Art of Family is proud to share her triumphant story.
