Solid Rock Youth Transitional Services started in 2022 under the leadership of Marscia Anderson, who comes from a family of social workers. “I went to my mom, who’d worked as a social worker, and told her I wanted to provide housing and supportive services for youth impacted by the foster-care system,” Anderson said. “We were going to start Solid Rock together, but unfortunately she passed away from cancer before we could get started.”
Solid Rock Transitional Services is an organization committed to providing youth with the support and resources they need to thrive, as there is a great need for housing and wraparound support for those aging out of the foster-care system. “We are a business that is in the business of serving and caring for one of the most vulnerable populations in our society,” Anderson said. “By supporting our youth, together we directly impact their future and the future of our community.”
