Meet the Curtis Family
After losing their home and jobs following the 2008 financial crisis, Maestro and Nola Curtis found themselves without a place to raise their children. A close friend found out they were living in their van and introduced them to Mercy Housing.
“Mercy Housing gave us shelter, and we surprised our kids with a new apartment home, which has allowed us to sustain a quality of life that has given us freedom,” Maestro shared. Nola added, “Mercy Housing nurtures community on so many levels — there are so many different reasons why people come to Mercy Housing, and they understand that.”
The family has embraced the journey they are on. And what a journey it has been. The multi-talented family of seven, better known as Mama C, Papa C, Zahara, Nile, Isis, Kiki and Phoenix, have gained national attention as the Curtis Family C-Notes, an up-and-coming funk band. They have performed for the Golden State Warriors, were featured on America’s Got Talent, and even headlined our 40th Anniversary Gala.
“It was worth everything because it made us so strong as a family,” Papa C concluded.
