'Til Death Do Us Part
February 14, 2011
When I met my husband Monroe, it was not love at first sight. More like second sight. However, the second look revealed the person with whom I would live until death parted us. It also revealed a man of character, one who deeply loved his God, his family and his community. Based on those values, our relationship and our love for each other began to grow, and we married after a nine-month courtship.
Families in Transition (FIT) is a transitional supportive housing program designed to support to homeless, pregnant women and their children. FIT links agencies together to provide wrap-around services designed to move women and children toward self-sufficient living.
Research tells us that children’s earliest experiences influence their development, academic success and later outcomes (King et al. 2010) and that a family’s home environment plays a large role in early childhood experiences.
