Ty is Excited For His New Home
We are so happy for Ty and his mother, Simone. They lost their housing during the pandemic and had to move quickly. We were able to provide a hotel voucher until a long-term housing unit was available. They recently moved into their new home and Ty was so excited to share the news with everyone.
Nights at Grandma’s are Back
After months of couch surfing Bettie ended up in a shelter with no idea of where to go next. She was referred to House of Ruth and worked with our case managers to find a stable place to call home.
Her greatest joy is having a safe place for her grandkids to come visit. Nothing is more fun than a sleepover with grandma.
