When Divorce Leads to Housing Crisis: The Role of Community Resources and JCOC

When divorce disrupts a household, the ripple effects can extend far beyond the courtroom, sometimes reaching as far as housing insecurity. In this episode, Charles Hatley, Esq., and Dan Cuneo, Esq., sit down with Kristin Ward, Development Director of the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center (JCOC), to unpack how life transitions like divorce can increase the risk of housing instability, especially for single parents navigating financial and emotional strain at the same time.Kristin shares what families often experience before they ever seek help, how to recognize early warning signs of instability, and the critical role community organizations play in providing food, shelter, and guidance during times of crisis. Together, they explore how legal planning, community resources, and proactive support can make the difference between temporary hardship and long-term homelessness.This conversation offers practical insight, hope, and a reminder that no one has to navigate these challenges alone.
