In this month's issue of The Lookout Mountain Mirror (@lookoutmountainmirror) , you will find a well-written article by our very own admin volunteer, Robin Howe, who has spent time getting to know CRITI intimately in the past few years. In this article, with the guidance of our staff, Robin explains some of the inner workings of our organization and the impact our programs have on women and children experiencing homelessness. She outlines one of our biggest prides, which is that every resident is treated with respect and dignity. Thank you for the lovely article, Robin, and thanks to everyone for your support!
Despite facing unstable living, she held onto her full-time job and focused on saving money. With enthusiasm, she dove into counseling, clinical case management, and budgeting classes, making incredible strides during her stay. After just six months, her resilience truly shone as she secured her own apartment, with crucial financial support from Housing Forward Grant Funds we applied for through Hamilton County Homeless Coalition that paid her security and electric deposit along with two months of rent, allowing her to keep her savings for emergencies. Jacklyn's unwavering patience and commitment led her to graduate from the program with permanent housing, paving the way for an exciting new chapter in her life!
At our organization, we're passionate about delivering joyful outcomes for our residents every single day! Your incredible support empowers our team to focus on mission-critical activities that spark positive and lasting change.
