… Brenda Moyet, 41, left Puerto Rico in November 2011 to escape a violent ex-husband. Moyet, along with her three children and current husband, Hector Aponte, lived in three New York City homeless shelters before settling in Camden [NJ] last November.

Aponte, 43, is diabetic, bipolar and schizophrenic, and puts his Supplemental Security Income toward the $800 rent of their East Camden home.

Their landlord recently put the house up for sale, plunging their housing situation into uncertainty. The family of five relies on $560 in food stamps and on food banks.

“Many undocumented immigrants think that because we are citizens of the United States everything is easier for us, but it’s not like that,” said Aponte.

Their limited knowledge of English was frustrating at first, Moyet and Aponte said, but other Spanish speakers in the East Camden community eased their assimilation.

And despite their precarious economic situation, Moyet said she prefers living in Camden because her children are better off.

“Education, health care, welfare – everything is better than in Puerto Rico,” said Moyet, who lived in public housing there.
