Founders Day Award Honorees

We are pleased to announce the recipients of our first annual Founders Day Awards. The honorees embody the spirit of our founders, three Sisters of Saint Joseph, Sisters Loretta Schulte, Donna Hawk, and Irene Utrup, who grew weary of seeing the same women return to homeless shelters. Stepping out on faith, and enlisting the support of a cadre of dedicated volunteers, they opened Transitional Housing, Inc. January 1986. It is this spirit that continues to bless the women who call THI home.

THI Board Appoints Sherri Brandon Executive Director

Mrs. Sherri Brandon has been appointed Executive Director of Transitional Housing, Inc. (THI.) by its Board of Directors. Mrs. Brandon is a seasoned professional with extensive experience working with the chronically homeless population, most recently as Associate/Program Director for the past five years with Transitional Housing, Inc (THI). Mrs. Brandon states, "My goal is to assure that THI provides the highest quality services so that every woman and child who calls THI home will have the opportunity to become self-sufficient and independent. Expanding our employment, education and independent living programs are also top priorities, as well as building solid relationships with area business and the community leaders will help to ensure that our legacy will continue. It is truly a privilege to serve in this capacity."
