Mrs. Gillen washes clothes in a metal tub with a washboard in the three room slum dwelling they rent for $50 per month. She and her husband, who is a laborer, her 4 children, and a grandmother share the house with another family. The house has no hot water, no refrigerator and a shared toilet. The family was evicted by the Health Department and relocated to Aliso Village.
