'Falling through the cracks' A family's journey over half a year without shelter.

Destany Prentice, left, poses for a portrait her her sons, Chad Megah, center, and Khristopher Frost, by their hotel room on Central NE in Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Wednesday morning at a motel at the southern end of the foothills, Destany Prentice, 45, and her three children are packing up for the umpteenth time all of their belongings that are scattered across the two-bed room they've spent the last month in.

"We're screwed," Prentice said. "As of tomorrow, we're totally screwed. We're totally gone, out of here, on the streets as of tomorrow."
