By rssfeeds-admin Executive Director Verni Howard said, “Homelessness has no face, it’s all, its everybody and so we really get to serve everyone in the space that they are in and that’s a difference we make every single day. These graduation ceremonies is really just a great celebration of how families can change when we all work together.”
The program is not easy. Six requirements must be completed to graduate, including maintaining a positive, determined, and cooperative attitude, working each day to reach your highest level of education, achieving and maintaining a budget, and participating in all programmatic efforts designed to provide long-term support.
Recent graduate Jasmine Mitchell said, “When I entered the Providence House, I was scared and I let them know that I was scared, but I also let them know that I’m not coming here to play and I’m not coming here to stay long.”
Participants must also gain employment. Graduate Paulette Demery told us, “Only thing they want you to do is to get you a job and make sure you’re working.”
