My Sister's House, a transition home for young women, has announced it is closing its doors. The nonprofit opened in Kingsley two years ago, serving women who are homeless, at high risk of becoming homeless or who have "aged out" of the foster care system. In that time, it has empowered 22 young women, according to its founder Cristy Allen.

Allen writes to the organization's supporters that the nonprofit does not "have the finances to continue," the home it has been leasing is on the market, and that it can not afford to relocate right now. The organization is operated solely by volunteers and private donations.

"We are in the process of finding new housing and support for our current residents, with plans to close the doors on September 30th," Allen writes. "We will be looking at the viability of possibly reopening at a new location in the future."

Allen asks that supporters, volunteers and others continue to provide support if able for the next couple of months, estimating the cost to care for the young women and other expenses related to closing at $7,900.
