Families in Transition acquired the nonprofit Manchester Emergency Housing, which provides staffing and resources to Manchester's only family shelter. This now broadens FIT's scope to provide immediate shelter to homeless families. Along with the acquisition, FIT gave the shelter an "extreme shelter makeover." With the help of area businesses, everything in the shelter was removed and the interior of the building was cleaned and painted. Businesses, organizations and individuals who donated time, items, and trades skills to the “shelter makeover” include: Digital Prospect Corporation, FairPoint Communications, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Merchants Automotive Group, New Hampshire Housing, Parker's Electric Services, United HealthCare, US Airways/Do Crew and students from the Derryfield School.
