Family Bios: The Kibret Family

Adina is a single mother with four sons: Yonase, 14, Neiyu, 7, Amanuel, 6, and Brook, 2. Her family moved into Lents Landing in January. She has worked as a market sales associate at a national thrift store for close to five years. She used to live in subsidized housing and was concerned about the street fights in the neighborhood. She is excited that she is now a homeowner and part of a community where her boys will thrive. Her dream is to have her boys receive a good education, and she believes living in a stable home will help them succeed in school and life.

For almost four years, Mathias Mung and Lun Niang have lived in a two-bedroom apartment with their young son and daughter. Mathias works as a custodian to provide financial stability for the family, while Lun is a stay-at-home mother. Their current apartment is an unhealthy environment for small children and Mathias and Lun worry that the lack adequate housing will negatively affect their children in the future.
