Summer 2014

 

Dear Friend, 

 

Happy summer! I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather and all that Cleveland has to offer this time of year. With almost all of our 60 units occupied, we continue to stay busy here at THI providing case management and programs and services to both male and female residents. 

 

We held a resident meet and greet in April and have had several classes graduate from the Workforce Readiness Workshop. We also hosted our 5th Annual Run/Walk for Home on May 31st at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. And, we are preparing for An Evening of Hope, a third party fundraiser hosted by our longtime friend and supporter, Danita Harris, on August 29. 

 

In addition, planning for our Home for All Ball is in full swing.  We are gathering sponsorships, silent auction items and promoting ticket sales. If you are interested in helping or attending, please contact Maggie Byrne at 216.781.2250 or mbyrne@transitionalhousinginc.org.

 

As always, we thank you for your continued support! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to tour our facility. Our doors are always open!

Sincerely,  
 Sherri Brandon, MSSA

Run/Walk for Home 5K
was a success!

On May 31, THI held our 5th Annual Run/Walk for Home 5K at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. With over 320 participants, the event raised much needed funds for the programs and services at THI. All participants enjoyed a beautiful course through the Zoo, breakfast, an awards program and access to the Zoo and Rainforest for the rest of the day. 

Special thanks to all event sponsors, participants and 
the planning committee!! 

   
Workforce Readiness Workshop Graduation 

A major obstacle to overcoming homelessness is unemployment, which is why THI's Workforce Readiness Workshop is so important to the residents of THI, as well as people from collaborating agencies. Four days a week for four weeks, THI staff member, Donald Dupree, teaches everything about obtaining and retaining employment. Subjects include building a resume, employee etiquette, how to interview, how to job search, etc... Below are some pictures of graduates with their instructor, Donald Dupree. All graduates have been on interviews, with a few already gaining employment!
