Tabitha Crabtree, a single mother of three, has lived in an apartment complex run by the Lorain Metropolitan Housing Complex for eleven years. Tabitha first moved to Wilkes Villa when she was pregnant with her first child, and never thought she would stay. Although Wilkes Villa was the best place for her at the time, throughout the years, while not making nearly enough to support a family of four, Tabitha found herself stuck in what many call the "projects." With an autistic son, mounting doctors' bills, and the cost of living, Tabitha said, "I was working so we could be OK today."
