Due to the increased work load Metropolitan Ministries now has because of the Superior Creek Lodge crisis, they have added a staff member, according to a release from the organization.
Lisa Warren will help with the long-term stability process, making sure former Superior Creek Lodge residents not only have an immediate place to live but are prospering months from now, Stability Navigator Anna Katharine Horne told the Times Free Press last week.
Metropolitan Ministries has been the lead organization helping former Superior Creek Lodge residents find housing ever since the complex was condemned in September.
"My volunteer work made me passionate about social work. The experience of doing my internship at MetMin helped me to become passionate about the agency and the work that they do for the community," Warren said in the release. "I am excited for the opportunity to help out with the Superior Creek Lodge families. This is an opportunity and a blessing."
Warren earned her bachelor's degree in Organizational Management from Covenant College and is a Ringgold, Ga., resident.
"The MetMin staff has worked valiantly for 6 weeks to provide housing stability to the Superior Creek Lodge families," said Rebecca Whelchel, Executive Director of Metropolitan Ministries in the release. "New families who've exhausted their own resources since September 10 continue to emerge and seek stability. Lisa's expertise and compassion make her the ideal person to help make sure that MetMin can continue its response to these families during the months ahead."
