Crossroads Rhode Island

Yesterday, we were proud to celebrate our President & CEO Michelle Wilcox, who was honored with the “Women Leading the Way” Award at @SethMagaziner's 4th Annual Women’s Luncheon! Thank you for bringing together so many people committed to advancing women’s leadership.

Our President and CEO Michelle Wilcox joined other housing advocates at the #RI Statehouse yesterday in support of proposed legislation to create a state-funded rental subsidy for those experiencing #homelessness. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=PzOhnL…

The Crossroads leadership team recently joined A Bed for Every Child and @Pariseault1946 to build 10 beds for families in our programs. We are so grateful for the community partners who help our families settle into their next chapter!

Giving Tuesday looks a little different this year. We’re seeing record levels of homelessness — more Rhode Islanders than ever need our help… and at the same time, potential federal funding cuts and policy changes could upend years of progress. crossroadsri.org/giving-tuesday

A huge shoutout to the men's crew team at @BrownUniversity for supporting Crossroads during the month of October! As a lead up to the Head of the Charles Regatta, these dedicated student-athletes raised more than $6,000 to support the mission of Crossroads.

A huge thank-you to the incredible team from @LeadershipRI! This group became the first volunteers to step inside our new Summer Street Apartments, helping prepare units that will soon become new homes for our residents. Thank you for your inspiring commitment to community!

In a moving op-ed, Buff Chace, Managing Partner of Cornish Associates, shares why the Summer Street Apartments are more than a new building, they’re a model of what’s possible when a community comes together to tackle the housing crisis: bit.ly/4hvAE9H

💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Last week, Crossroads staff joined thousands across the country in recognizing Purple Thursday, also known as Domestic Violence Awareness Day, by proudly wearing purple to show support for survivors of abuse.

We’re just days away from unveiling the Summer Street Apartments — the largest permanent supportive housing development in New England! 176 residents will soon move into fully furnished one-bedroom apartments.
