Mission:
To provide safe,
affordable housing
and comprehensive
social services to
individuals and
families who are
homeless or
at risk of becoming
homeless, enabling
them to gain
self-sufficiency and
respect.
Dear Friends,
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Families in
Transition (FIT). During those 20 years, we’ve gone
from one property to 14; from one city to two; from
one employee to 71; from five units of housing to over
200; from nearly 100 volunteer hours to nearly 20,000
hours in one year; and the list goes on! However, most
importantly, through these years we’ve focused on
providing a home and building hope for over 4,000
people who were homeless.
As you read this report, you’ll see that through the
ongoing support of our board of directors, staff, and
supporters, even through these challenging economic
times, we’ve been able to move the organization
forward by expanding our number of housing units, as
well as our entrepreneurial business ventures. Some of
these highlights include the following:
Two new housing developments were created resulting in 29 new units of housing. Our Lowell Street Housing program provides 17 units of shared housing, designed
specifically for single women and women with their children waiting to move into transitional or permanent housing. Our Belmont Housing program provides 12
new permanent housing units for families and individuals.
One business venture expanded and a new one was created, both creating additional revenue streams to the bottom line of Families in Transition. Our OutFITters
Thrift Store Boutique expanded and relocated onto Main Street in downtown Concord. Our newest business venture, FIT Cleaning Solutions, provides full service office
cleaning to businesses in the greater Manchester and Concord communities.
An expanded and more formalized structure to our long-standing commitment of conducting research and sharing best practices with those who work with the
homeless population was established. The New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness, a nonprofit created in 1990, is now headquartered at Families in Transition.
Through the Coalition, we will continue to research solutions on ending homelessness, educate providers on best practices, and empower those we serve.
The need for our housing and services is greater than ever and because of our ability to not only sustain ourselves, but to grow, we’ve been able to help homeless families
and individuals get back on their feet and once again become active and engaged members of our community. However, we would be remiss in not acknowledging and
wholeheartedly recognizing that our successes are because of your continued support. And, we thank you for this!
Stay tuned for exciting things happening in 2012, including the acquisition of Manchester Emergency Housing, a family shelter in Manchester. We look forward to a
bright future ahead and are dedicated to building hope for every member of our community who enters through our front doors.

Irma’s Story
on YouTube
In 2011, Families in Transition
housed 256 children.
Hope is like the sun, which, as
we journey toward it, casts the
shadow of our burden behind
us. – Sa muel Smiles
During 2011, Families in Transition’s Lowell Street Housing program opened as its first housing program specifically
designed to provide more immediate, short-term, shared housing for single women and mothers with children.
Residents at Lowell Street receive counseling services while they wait to be transitioned into temporary or
permanent housing.
In 2011, single mom, Irma found herself and her teenage daughter, Jada, homeless after she lost her job and was
no longer able to afford her rent payments. Irma and her daughter lived with family and friends while she sought
assistance from public resources. “I felt abused,” Irma recalls. “Everything just really fell apart. It was so traumatic
for my family. My daughter still struggles to get over this traumatic time-period.” Amidst the struggles, Irma was
introduced to Families in Transition through a friend.
Irma and Jada became the first family to move into the newly renovated, yellow building on Lowell Street, “I
remember the day [Families in Transition staff] came and said, ‘You are the first ones. You’re going to have so much
luck, don’t worry.’ Words that have stayed in my head and my heart,” Irma says.
Upon arriving, Irma recalls receiving new sheets for her new bed and personal toiletries. She immediately started
building hope through working closely with her Families in Transition Treatment Coordinator; together they created
employment, financial and educational goals for her future. “Just being there really made me feel that I was going
for something better, that things were going to get brighter,” Irma reflects.
Today, Irma and Jada reside in a permanent residence at one of the Families in Transition’s properties. Irma has
found employment and is working toward getting her GED. “My Treatment Coordinator always encourages me to
do things to better myself. She encourages me to think above working in a factory and to study, so one day I can do something better,” Irma says. With the new positive direction
her life has now taken, Irma fondly remembers how she began her transition at Lowell Street, putting her on the path of gaining self-sufficiency and respect. “There’s not a day
that I don’t forget to just say thank you to God because I feel peace; I have come to my home.”

In 2011, Families in Transition
received 3,552 requests for
assistance.

Donors, Customers, and Volunteers
Provide the Foundation of OutFITters
Thrift Stores
A Solid Revenue Strea m for F IT
A combined total of
over $3.3 million in
sales since inception,
the OutFITters
Thrift Stores have
gained a reputation
for being popular,
socially-responsible
shopping
destinations.
Volunteer of the Year
Volunteer time is
calculated to be
worth $20.25 an
hour. In 2011, our
volunteer’s hours
totaled $401,410.
Sanford “Sandy” McCann
Volunteer extraordinaire, Sanford “Sandy” McCann, was honored as Families in
Transition’s 2011 Volunteer of the Year. Sandy was nominated by OutFITters Thrift Store
staff and selected from a pool of nominees by Families in Transition’s Directors for being
a positive, passionate, and energetic role-model who exemplifies building hope through
his volunteer service.
Sandy’s legacy with Families in Transition began over three years ago when he sat
down with the organization’s President, Maureen Beauregard, for coffee. At the time,
Sandy and Maureen both belonged to the same church, but had never met before their
minister Gayle Murphy, a Families in Transition Board of Director Member, suggested the
two get together. Sandy recalls the conversation, “Our minister actually told me, ‘Sandy,
you’re a pretty interesting person, and Maureen is a pretty interesting person. Why don’t
you two talk?’ So, I invited [Maureen] to have coffee, and once I met her, I knew this is
the kind of person I wanted to work beside.”
The rest is history. Over the past few years, Sandy has dedicated over 125 hours of
volunteer service. Having started with the OutFITters Thrift Store in Manchester and
now volunteering at the OutFITters Thrift Store Boutique in Concord, Sandy comes in
every Tuesday to help sort donations and keeps the store in order. OutFITters Thrift Store
Manager, Matt Teichman, has said his arrival each week is like “a breath of fresh air.”
He’s known among store staff and fellow volunteers for bringing a positive attitude, an
excellent work ethic, and a willingness to tackle any task deemed ‘less desirable.’ For
Sandy, “Volunteering is more than a hobby…It’s about putting the word ‘us’ into living.”

Volunteer Award
Ceremony on
YouTube
In 2011, over 2,000 individuals and businesses donated their new and gently used
furniture, clothing, books, and housewares to OutFITters Thrift Stores. Thanks to those
donations, the store staff was able to re-stock the stores each day with new and
interesting inventory to keep up with the demand of over 170,000 items sold in one
year.
According to one of OutFITters’ donors, Maria Suprenant, “Donating to OutFITters Thrift
Stores is easy and convenient. When my in-laws moved into assisted living, OutFITters
Thrift Store came to the home in their truck and picked up the furniture. When I have
smaller donations, I just drive to the back of the Manchester store and the man at the
loading dock helps me unload my items. They make it so simple.”
The donations and the stores’ loyal patrons helped OutFITters Thrift Stores profit
$150,000 in 2011, which was directed to Families in Transition in order to continue
to provide housing and services, building hope for formerly homeless families and
individuals.
Families in Transition Board of Director Member and OutFITters Thrift Store shopper,
Theresa Dolloff notes, “Shopping at OutFITters Thrift Stores is so much fun! You
4
never know what kind of great ‘finds’ you will come across. And, the price is always
right. Some of the items I have purchased (many for less than $10) have the original
price tags still attached; now THAT’S a deal!” The flagship OutFITters Thrift Store in
Manchester continues to be a notable shopping destination in the Queen City.
In the later part of 2011, OutFITters Thrift Store Boutique in Concord moved from
its cozy location in Bicentennial Square to a more visible location at 20 South Main
Street, next to the Concord Food Co-op. The move meant the Boutique grew to ten
times its original size allowing the product lines to grow to not only include upscale
women’s clothing, but to also include upscale clothing for men and children, furniture,
books and housewares. The expansion was made possible thanks to support from the
Community Development Finance Authority and local businesses.
In addition to generous donors and loyal customers, the stores have a dedicated and
growing list of volunteers who do everything from sorting donations, to hanging
clothes, to cleaning. Over the last year, 142 volunteers spent over 3,500 hours, which
is valued at over $71,000, helping the stores run smoothly and look spectacular.
Every time you stand up for an ideal, you send
forth a tiny ripple of hope. – Robert Kennedy

Capacity Building at its Finest
Fa milies in Transition VISTA Progra m
In January 2011, the AmeriCorps VISTA
(Volunteers in Service to America) Program
that Families in Transition was managing
doubled in number and in geographic
distribution, thus becoming the largest
network of AmeriCorps VISTAs living and
serving in New Hampshire. VISTA members
are professionals who volunteer full-time, for
one year, working on volunteer recruitment,
fundraising, grant writing, and program
development at nonprofits and government
agencies that are working towards
eliminating poverty in New Hampshire. In an interview, with one of the nearly 30 organizations that benefits from having a VISTA member, More Than Wheels’ executive director,
Debby Miller commented, “It’s a big win for the New Hampshire community and the people that need these services that are provided by the nonprofit organizations to be able
to have this kind of capacity.” More Than Wheels is a nonprofit that helps struggling individuals and families break the cycle of poor financial decision making by using the car
buying process to catalyze lasting change, financial stability and control. The Families in Transition VISTA program members’ commitment, passion, and hard work sustain and
expand programs building hope in our communities.

It’s all about the Children
Building Hope for a Strong Future
In 2011, Families in
Transition became
the first and only
homelessness
agency in New
Hampshire to
have the entire
staff trained in
the Brazelton
Touchpoints system,
a system which
helps parents
understand the
behavior of their
child and form a
stronger emotional
attachment,
strengthening family
relationships and
promoting unity.
All proceeds
generated through
FIT Cleaning
Solutions services
are directed
to Families in
Transition’s
programs and
services.

Akira at School
on YouTube
Families in Transition’s Family Place is the first-in-the-nation trauma-informed
childcare center that supports children experiencing homelessness. The goal of
the Family Place is to provide youth participants with a combination of familystrengthening therapeutic treatment, high quality trauma and homeless-informed
childcare, and opportunity for social activities. The Family Place serves up to 20
preschool students with the staff focused on building hope for the children’s future.
For Families in Transition’s program participant Breanna, a single mother of three,
the Family Place provides a safe learning environment for her oldest daughter Akira,
age five, to thrive academically, emotionally and socially. Akira has been enrolled
in the Family Place for two years. Breanna is amazed by her daughter’s educational
growth at the Family Place, which includes reciting the alphabet both frontwards and
backwards.
As part of Family Place’s integrated, family-centered programming, Parent Advisory
Council meetings are scheduled between teachers and families to discuss each child’s
progression and specific needs. These meetings have become meaningful to Breanna
as they allow her to hear about her daughter’s growth and address issues. Hearing
6
of Akira’s success at the childcare center enables Breanna to build hope for her child’s
future. “I like being involved with everything Akira does. It makes me feel good,
like I’m doing my best as a mom. Akira is definitely going to be successful. She will
graduate high school and go on to college,” she says proudly.
Since enrolling with Families in Transition and receiving the services connected with
the Family Place, both mother and daughter have experienced social and emotional
transformations. “In the beginning, I was really shy and I didn’t like being around a lot
of people,” Breanna recalls. “But, I’m getting used to it now. The girls are around other
children and they love it.” Breanna has also taken notice of Akira’s positive change in
behavior. “She now knows if she’s upset, she’ll put herself in another room. Then she’ll
come to me and explain why she’s upset. Before, she didn’t really talk much when she
got upset and threw tantrums.” Positive emotional and physical healthy outcomes are
achieved through the strength-based, therapeutic programming provided by clinical
staff who are specially trained on the unique needs of children.
Seeing her oldest daughter’s success at the Family Place is building hope for Breanna,
“To see how Akira has grown here, I would love for my other two kids to do the same.”

Gray Chynoweth

Thanks to a new entrepreneurial business venture, Families in Transition is creating
a clean path to a brighter future for its participants. Families in Transition added
FIT Cleaning Solutions, a commercial cleaning service for businesses in the greater
Manchester and Concord areas, to its growing brand in 2011. The company puts
100% of its profits back into Families in Transition’s housing and services, so Families
in Transition can continue building hope for the formerly homeless individuals and
families it serves.
Dyn’s choice to use FIT Cleaning Solutions was sparked in part by what Chynoweth
calls consumer activism—being smart about where you spend your money. He
explained that dollars that stay local add value to the community. “I thought about
the fact that for what is relatively a commodity service—commercial cleaning—we
could not only have a great impact on our office space of getting a really good service,
we could also have a great impact on the community, which to me is really important
as someone that cares about New Hampshire and about Manchester,” he said.
Dynamic Network Services, Inc., (Dyn) was the first company to hire FIT Cleaning
Solutions services. Gray Chynoweth, Chief Operating Officer at Dyn and Families in
Transition Board of Director Member, knew about Families in Transition’s work in the
community and how it cleaned and maintained its own 14 properties.
Chynoweth says the FIT Cleaning Solutions crew delivers dependable, timely results.
But getting a clean office and great customer service isn’t the only reason why
Chynoweth said he would recommend them.
FIT Cleaning Solutions services, which uses green products and up-to-date equipment,
include floor stripping and waxing, carpet cleaning, glass cleaning, and general
dusting and cleaning. The paid professional staff offers over 15 years of experience in
the field and is known for their customer service.
“I thought to myself, wow—if they do such a good job on their own buildings and
such a good job in the community for other folks, I wonder what they could do for our
business,” Chynoweth said.
“New Hampshire is really a place about community, and there’s no better way to invest
back in the community than to support Families in Transition through receiving this
service from FIT Cleaning Solutions,” he said. “In addition to getting a great service,
you’re also making sure that an amazing nonprofit institution in the state has a
sustainable funding model.”
Since 1991, Families in Transition has helped 4,031 people.
