Description
The most basic level of need is an emergency shelter. Simply a safe place to stay where one can receive love, a meal, a shower, and a comfortable bed. The expectations of a person seeking emergency shelter are low. The expectation is really on us to love and accept everyone unconditionally. We will be there to assist people in the emergency shelter in taking next steps if they so choose. But if they do not, or are not ready, the emergency shelter will be there for them to rest and recover. All individuals will be welcomed with open arms.

Budget
$120,000.00
Description
For some people, this will include more supportive housing, or subsidized housing. For others, it would be the ability to support their own housing options.

Our vision includes encouraging churches to commit to providing permanent housing as needed. If every church in Williamson County committed to either purchasing a home to be used for housing, or leasing apartment units, the churches in our county would have more housing units at their disposal than our government agencies and non-profits combined. All religions have instructions to care for the poor. What a great testimony it would be if our city/county could say that our faith communities united to eliminate homelessness in our town!

Description
We assist with transitional housing in a "dormitory/pod" style part of the shelter, or in a partnering group home. Transitional housing is based on gender and family dynamics. Ideally, a person (or family) would stay in transitional housing for up to six months. This would allow the person (or family) an opportunity to get a job, save up money for permanent housing, and give them an address that could be used on job applications and to enroll their children in school.
