Lerancia — Feeling Energized

Lerancia worked hard to support herself, building her small shoe store into a thriving business. When her store was vandalized, she had to close down the shop. Suffering from the sudden loss of income and unable to recover quickly enough, she became homeless. Lerancia came to the Yawkey House women’s shelter looking for support.

At Yawkey House, Lerancia’s case manager told her about Pine Street’s housekeeping job training program. "I had earlier experience in housekeeping, so I jumped at the chance for a fresh start," Lerancia says. "The staff here helped me put together my resume and apply for housing."

Now, in an apartment of her own, Lerancia is looking for a job and is excited for the future. "I feel energized, and I hope to start a housekeeping business. Thank you, Pine Street!"

Lyndia on I Spark Change

Lyndia Downie on
the "I Spark Change" Podcast

President and Executive Director Lyndia Downie joined host Rick Ornellas for an episode of "I Spark Change," a podcast focused on people around the world who spread positive change.

Lyndia discussed how Pine Street’s "housing with support" model enables individuals to connect with resources like medical and behavioral healthcare, job training and jobs as they rebuild their lives. 

Lyndia also addressed misconceptions about homelessness. "Homeless folks are like the rest of us," says Lyndia. "They want to be safe; they want to get on with their lives."
