Leadership Development Academy, Project 16:49 renovate safe space for homeless teens

BELOIT A team of community leaders has pulled back the curtain on a new space designed to benefit homeless youths. Five members of Rock County’s Leadership Development Academy, in coordination with Project 16:49, recently revealed a fully renovated relaxation room for girls residing at The Robin House, a shelter for homeless teenage girls. The room, previously used for storage, has been converted into an open space for reading, yoga, meditation and relaxation—complete with books, a decorative water fountain, giant rugs, room-darkening shades, blankets and chairs. “Our residents have experienced a variety of—and often multiple—traumas,” said Tammy DeGarmo, executive director of Project 16:49, a nonprofit that serves homeless and unaccompanied teens in Rock County. “Most struggle with depression and anxiety that at times can be debilitating. Having a dedicated calming space like this is a valuable contribution to their healing process.”

Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin eager to break ground for new shelter

JANESVILLE After delays, changes in leadership, the pandemic and a complete redesign, the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin was ready to break ground on its long-awaited new building this month. Then a new problem slammed the brakes on the project: a national steel shortage. Jim McMullen, the humane society’s executive director, said the kind of steel roof trusses needed for the building normally would have been delivered in three to four weeks, but when Corporate Contractors Inc. ordered the steel, they were told the delivery wouldn’t come until January. The problem was a major U.S. business had preordered massive amounts of the trusses this year, McMullen said.
