Heather Pullman leaves the St. Anne’s homeless shelter in Ogden, after moving out all her family’s belongings, on Dec. 4, 2008. Pullman, her partner Charles Brown and their three children, spent several months at a homeless shelter in Ogden, Utah, after losing their home to foreclosure. The family found a home in November 2008, and Charles Brown started work at a local factory. But Pullman’s mental illness and an emotional disconnect among the family members make it hard to deal with life for them and they hope they won’t lose their home again. “The struggle isn’t over,” Charles Brown said. “This is just the beginning.” Because of the economic crisis, more and more families have flocked to homeless shelters in Utah after losing their housing.
