Housing in South Florida is at an all-time high, and many families looking for places to turn while they struggle with finances.

Friday afternoon the Broward Education Foundation along with others surprised some high school seniors and their families struggling with housing instability with free dorm essentials, and some received a full-ride scholarship.

"My sister is in the car right now she's crying because I don't live with my mom, my dad passed away four years ago so she's been taking care of me. And I'm just so proud of myself and I know all my family members are going to cry when they hear this," said Danie Joseph, a scholarship recipient.
