The inspiration behind "Home for Tracy" stems from a homeless woman named Tracy, whom Ross encountered but was unable to assist before Tracy tragically passed away on the streets of South Bend. This profound loss motivated Ross to establish the organization in April 2023, with the mission of helping women transition from homelessness to stable housing. (Source)

Residents can stay for 6 to 8 months, during which they are encouraged to maintain employment, build credit, and learn financial literacy. Ross emphasizes personal accountability and works closely with each individual to develop a customized plan for their journey toward self-sufficiency. (Source)
