Ericka Murria was 17-years-old when she first went to Coalition on Temporary Shelter with her one-year-old daughter. Murria, a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, she lived on hard times after her mother passed away. She’d been living with friends who were into drugs and alcohol. But after her friends stole her Bridge card and $1200 worth of cash assistance Murria had saved for a down payment on an apartment, she got on the bus with her daughter and headed to COTS.
