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.”
