Tamela moved into The House after a month of couch surfing. She had left a long term relationship and was looking to start over in Phoenixville to be closer to her children and grandchildren. With a safe place to rest at night, Tamela immediately started job hunting. She was able to find work that she enjoyed and gave her a sense of purpose. Tamela focused on saving, paying down debt, and learning to let go of the past while at The House. Tamela was determined to move on from The House quickly and start her new journey. After 2 months at The House, she was able to move in with long time friends.
