Fun Fundraisers

We could not be more thankful to our wonderful donors and supporters. We simply would not be here providing the vital services to those in most need if it were not for our supporters.
To help spark some ideas, we have put together a list of fundraisers. If you are interested in putting something together, please take a look at this list.

Dear Friend,
Wow! A lot has happened since our last newsletter. Here are a few of the things we've been up to at Front Steps Housing and Services (formerly known as Transitional Housing Inc.):
- Completed our strategic plan and shifted from a transitional housing model to a permanent supportive housing model to respond to changes in the needs of the homeless population
- Executed our First Annual Home for All Ball on Saturday, November 15 at Windows on the River, which raised over $40,000
- Announced our new organizational name to the community - Front Steps Housing and Services. Check out the press release here.
- Continued to fulfill our mission of providing individuals and families who are mentally disabled and/or economically disadvantaged in Cuyahoga County with permanent supportive housing and lifelong solutions to increase self-sufficiency and independence
- Created new collaborations with local non-profits to better serve our community and residents
We have a lot to be grateful for in 2014 including our amazing Board of Directors who executed our transition seamlessly and our many donors, volunteers and supporters. THANK YOU for sticking by our side during this transition. We are excited about what 2015 has to bring for Front Steps Housing and Services.
Sincerely, Sherri Brandon, MSSA Executive Director
