“Transitions are almost always signs of growth, but they can bring feelings of loss. To get somewhere new, we may have to leave somewhere else behind.” – Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood)

Dear Friends:

We are constantly in a state of transition, some transitions are so small we barely notice them and some are larger and affect us greatly.  When in a time of transition we often feel more vulnerable with many unknowns. Life transitions and moving can feel destabilizing, scary and exciting all at the same time.

Over the past year the staff of HTRC has transitioned back to our offices and have transitioned to our new office space, allowing our previous office space to transition into additional affordable housing in our community.

Together with our partners we transitioned the former Immaculate Heart of Mary School in to 19 micro unit apartments for low income and formerly homeless members of our community.  This project provided a transition to safe, affordable housing for these individuals, giving them an opportunity to thrive, rather than just survive.  Lincoln Place gives them a place to call home, a sense of community and the ability to receive services they may need through our partners Rutland Mental Health Services/CCN, Homeless Prevention Center and Rutland Housing Authority.

As we transition out of the height of the pandemic, HTRC understands that its impact is still being felt by our community, particularly lower income individuals and families.  We will continue to service those most vulnerable in our community through supportive housing opportunities and life-enhancing supportive services.

We understand that affordable housing is key to the health and well-being of both adults and children. We will continue work to create housing that is affordable and safe by transitioning unutilized and underutilized buildings in to homes. We will continue to cultivate communities where our residents can thrive.

You will find our Spring Appeal included in this Annual Report.  We need your help to continue our work and sincerely appreciate your past support, it is critical to our mission.

Sincerely,

Mary Cohen
Executive Director
