August 30, 2017
Transitions Homeless Recovery Center CEO Craig Currey (standing) briefs Capital Rotary members on what they’ll see during an Aug. 30 tour of the facility.
Transitions aims to help the homeless stabilize their lives, increase their income and secure permanent housing. Currey said about 260 people can be housed at the site.
Transitions serves more than 240,000 meals yearly while providing assistance with clothing, education and literacy skills, health, community resources, financial stability, safety and fun.
Its day center program handles up to 150 clients. Transitions has moved over 1,700 people to permanent housing in the past six years and helped almost 6,000 achieve a more positive living situation. Capital Rotary’s tour was part of the club’s Fifth Wednesday program substituting local field trips in place of a regular meeting.
