Maine Homeless Couple from Woods Moves into Apartment

Jeff Sandler had made the coffee and poured it into the empty carton at his tent in the woods of south Sanford.

Hours later, he was drinking it while standing in his new apartment that he shares with Tami, his wife of nearly 30 years.

For the Sandlers, months and months of homelessness have come to an end.

A few plans to move out of the woods and into an apartment, courtesy of a hard-won housing voucher, had fallen through.

The Sanford Housing Authority contacted the Sandlers and told them they had a new apartment waiting for them.
