Becoming Durham

09/30/2016

Thank you again to the entire Durham community for everything! You guys are the best! On a personal note: I tried to think of the perfect M.A.S.H or LOST tv show ending but struggled to find the perfect "fit." So I'll just say thanks for making us all part of your family. Oh and thanks for "liking and sharing" all of our content(and it's been a lot). It didn't go unnoticed. - Brandon

It seems just like yesterday that Durham County was awarded the SAMSHA grant we all know as BECOMING. Over the last six years, we hope to have brought the need for system of care services for the transition age youth to the forefront. We cannot thank the Durham community enough for all the support and to our staff for all the long hours and dedication to our young people.

Finally, to our youth and families.... If it weren't for your perseverance, the kind words, being there when we needed you and being there for each other, this project would not have been the success that it became. There's not enough words to express our gratitude.
