This year, the Carol Z. Steinman Fund supported families with low income transitioning from homelessness into permanent housing through The Brookline Center's Transitional Housing Program (THP). These families, many of whom have experienced systemic trauma and financial insecurity, were provided with critical resources to help them stabilize and rebuild their lives.
When other funding sources for transitional housing families were unexpectedly cut this year, the Carol Z. Steinman Fund stepped in to help fill the gap. Thanks to the Fund:
- Families were able to purchase essential furniture and household items as they transitioned from shelters to new homes.
- Newly arrived families received welcome baskets created by our team, which offered not only practical support but a sense of care and dignity at a vulnerable moment.
- One family received assistance with moving costs after their informal support system fell through, and they urgently needed to relocate to a larger unit.
