Grand Rapids, Michigan, April 25, 2017 – Grand Rapids based nonprofit housing agency, Community Rebuilders, has been selected as a host-site for the 2017 Transatlantic Partnership program. The Transatlantic Practice Exchange (the Exchange) provides an opportunity for United Kingdom and United States professionals in the homeless assistance field to spend up to two weeks with an organization ‘across the pond’ to learn about innovative interventions that are not being implemented in their home communities.
Selected for their use of the Strengths-Based Housing Resource Specialist model, Community Rebuilders will host a UK practitioner, Ruth Franciszka, from Voices of Stoke for two weeks. The exchange participant will have an opportunity to meet community leaders in the homelessness arena, as well as households that have received services.
“We are incredibly honored to be a 2017 host site” states Vera Beech, Community Rebuilders Executive Director. “These exchange partnerships provide our community, as well as the UK host community, with a real opportunity to learn and share best practices.”
