Crossroads Rhode Island President & CEO Michelle Wilcox released the following statement today in response to the United States Supreme Court’s disappointing ruling to uphold the criminalization of homelessness in the State of Oregon in the Grants Pass v. Johnson case. The Court’s decision is likely to exacerbate the nation’s homelessness crisis.

📣 We are thrilled to announce Michelle Wilcox as the new President & CEO of Crossroads Rhode Island! With over 30 years of experience in homeless services and permanent supportive housing development, Michelle is poised to lead our organization into an exciting new chapter. Congratulations, Michelle!

Crossroads' Education & Employment program recently celebrated its 156th graduating class from our Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training Program! Designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to pass Rhode Island's CNA exam, this program opens doors to rewarding careers in the healthcare industry. We applaud our graduates as they take another critical step in their path towards independence. Congratulations!

I’m excited to share that Crossroads Rhode Island has been awarded GuideStar’s 2024 Platinum Seal of Transparency! This is the highest level of recognition offered by GuideStar and symbolizes our commitment to transparency with respect to finances, governance, strategic planning, programming, and leadership. Less than 1% of non-profits in the U.S. have earned the Platinum Seal, so we are deeply honored to be recognized at this level as we continuously strive to meet the highest standards of excellence. Thank you to the many individuals, corporations, and foundations who support our mission of helping those experiencing homelessness secure stable homes. Our work wouldn't be possible without you!

Our Learning Center's Math & Literacy classes just celebrated another amazing term with an award ceremony to honor students who achieved outstanding results and those who completed the program. 🌟 These courses are essential in preparing our students for GED programs, building a strong academic foundation for their future success. Congrats to all! 🎉
