ALE Housing Rescues 76-Year-Old Grandmother Living in Car During Record Freeze
Houston, Texas, United States, 27th Jan 2026 As temperatures plummeted to a dangerous levels this week, a crisis unfolded quietly on the roadsides of our suburbs. While many battled burst pipes and leaking ceilings, others faced a more desperate reality. ALE Housing, a leader in temporary disaster placement, is highlighting the urgent need for emergency housing awareness after encountering a 76-year-old woman and her daughter living in their vehicle to survive the cold.
The severe winter storm has displaced hundreds of families, but for those without extended family networks, the situation can turn life-threatening in hours.
“It’s been living in my car, my daughter and I,” the 76-year-old survivor shared in a heartbreaking testimonial. “We were sitting in the car when it was 17 degrees out. We have no family.”
Upon discovering the women, the ALE Housing team immediately mobilized. The company’s response was swift and unequivocal: “No way. We’re not going to let that happen to you.”
This incident shines a stark light on the often-overlooked aftermath of winter disasters. Beyond the structural damage of fallen trees or flooded floors lies the human toll of displacement.
“We run across situations like this all the time, whether it’s trees falling through houses, homes burning up, or families sitting in the midst of rubble not knowing where to go,” said an ALE Housing representative. “You just want to make sure that everybody knows ALE Housing is a resource for anybody needing temporary housing, catastrophe housing, or any sort of disaster recovery.”
ALE Housing emphasizes that they are not just a booking service, but a lifeline that navigates the complex insurance ecosystem for displaced families. The company manages the entire process from start to finish, ensuring that victims of the freeze are placed in safe, warm environments while their primary homes are restored.
“We will do everything in our power to get you housed, place you in safety, and help you through the entire claims process,” the representative added. “We just hope that God is with everybody; we pray for safety, and anything we can do to assist, we will certainly do that.”
As the freeze continues and pipes thaw, resulting in further water damage, ALE Housing urges residents to prioritize safety and reach out immediately if their homes become uninhabitable.
