"A safe place to sleep for me and my son. They push me to do better; to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. They never gave up on me."
TASHA came to MCREST with her three children after being asked to leave a family members home. With the help of our Learning & Resource Center she found a job as a CNA. She began immediately looking for a new home for her family. After finding an affordable three bedroom home in Warren, MCREST helped with the security deposit and up to three months rent.
Tasha is now self-reliant and her youngest son Landon will soon begin school in Warren.

EMELIA and her two daughters left housing due to a broken marriage. After researching careers at our Learning & Resource Center, she entered a CNA certificate program. After completing the program, Emelia located housing in Roseville, found a job, signed her lease and moved into her new home. MCREST assisted with the security deposit and the first three months rent.
Emelia is happy to be back on her feet and her daughters are back in school, have many new friends, and the trauma of being homeless is fading.

When MAGDALENA came to MCREST she was holding down three jobs but it was not enough to pay for housing and support three children. So while her children stayed with family, Magdalena entered an Administrative Assistant certificate program arranged by our Learning & Resource Center.
After graduating at the top of her class, she landed a great job, secured housing, and reunited with her children. A short time ago Magdalena called to inform us that she was just hired by Quicken Loans as a Regional Relationship Manager! Way to go Magdalena!
