The answer

If the two houses are owned by the woman and serve as a dwelling for her and her children, sufficient for their needs without excess, then her ownership of them does not prevent her from being described as "destitute" (miskeenah) if she does not have enough from her son or anyone else. She is given from what suffices her, without being burdened with selling them.
