The Emerging Power Couple of New Haven
Roberta was so inspired by the proverb “Teach a man to fish,” that she offered Elmer a free ride to her real estate school so that he could earn his license and start a new career. Moreover, she offered him a job with her firm once he'd passed the necessary exams and received his certification! However, it wasn't until approximately a year later that the new power couple would end up accomplishing something immensely significant for their neighborhood.
Access to Housing, Employment, and Education
It just took a few short minutes for Elmer's fortunes to change dramatically. No one anticipated that this chance encounter would have such a profound impact on their lives. When the day began, they were complete strangers. When she saw he was in need, Roberta took Elmer in, and he never once expected anything in return. She was resolved to aid him in any way she could, and she set out to assist him in securing both an education and a place to call home.
