ABOUT
- MIRIAM WOMEN IN ACTION
Miriam Women in Action is the Leadership Guild of the Miriam Apartments. In pursuit of buiding internal community, Miriam leaders designed a project which would tell the story of the journey from homelessness to home, provide a meeting place where women could find common ground, and begin to build the relationships necessary to move forward together on common issues. - THE TENANT LEADERSHIP PROJECT
The Tenant Leadership Project, using community organizing principles, brings Lakefront tenants together to create a strong, unified voice to represent issues of formerly homeless people. The Tenant Leadership Project works to reintegrate tenants of Lakefront’s supportive housing back into civic and community life by teaching leadership skills and focusing directly on issues that affect their lives. In learning leadership skills, tenants make important steps in developing the confidence to re-enter community life and achieve other life goals.
