On paper, Cheerilyn Chapmanâs financial situation looks pretty good. The income she earns from working 60 hours a week as a restaurant delivery driver is enough for her to qualify for a loan on a modest home. Unfortunately, most of the houses in her price range â the decent ones, anyway â donât meet her needs.
Chapman, 50, is the mother of seven children, ranging in age from 9 to 20. And while the 20-year-old is âlearning to fledge,â and pays rent, she said, heâs not ready to be on his own just yet. So for now, they all live together in a rented home with plenty of rooms â as long as you count the large closet that has been turned into a bedroom as one of them.
