Transforming Lives
Rick signed the paperwork, was given a tour, and got handed the keys to his new place. “He is officially out of homelessness.’’
Rick
Rick* landed at MTM because he couldn’t find work in Kalamazoo despite visiting many temp agencies and being in and out of the hospital for cancer treatments. Mel Trotter staff walked with him each step of the way by scheduling and rescheduling his doctor appointments and helping him obtain all the necessary documents and income he’d need to get into permanent housing.
