Homespace Corp., a local nonprofit agency that provides affordable
transitional housing and services for homeless, single parents and
their children, has appointed a new executive director.
Kim Morris, who joined Homespace as a program manager in 2005, has
been named as the agency’s new leader to replace the current
executive director, Thelma Roberts.
Roberts, who has led the organization since 1996, is retiring in May.
"Kim clearly displayed the passion and leadership we were seeking,"
Michael Keating, president of the Homespace board of directors, said
in a prepared statement.
Roberts, a Buffalo State College graduate who earned her master’s
in social work from the University at Buffalo, also has worked with
KidsPeace National Centers in West Seneca, Berkshire Farm Center and
Services for Youth, and Community Services for the Developmentally
Disabled.
"I am excited by the challenges that lie before us," Morris
said in a prepared statement. "I have no doubt that we can continue
to make a difference in the lives of homeless families by giving the
opportunities and skills needed to succeed in life." |
