10 Aug Adrian Family Opens Homeless Shelter

The Lansing State Journal’s online website has an article about a homeless mission opened by Jim and Tammy Watson, who attend the Trenton Hills UB church in Adrian. Mich. The Watsons have spent 18 years living with their children in inner cities and working with homeless persons, and persons with drug and alcohol addictions.

When a mission they started in Toledo, Ohio, closed because of a lack of funds, they moved to Adrian to “rest up” before moving to the South Bronx to start a new mission. But in Adrian, they were surprised to find a need for a permanent homeless shelter. In May, they opened a rehab program called LifeChange and opened an emergency homeless shelter with bunks for six men. Some of the board members for this new organization come from Trenton Hills.
