Shelter and Interdependence
How we do it
Through our 12-month program, clients put newly learned life skills into practice and require less supervision. This empowers to take on greater levels of responsibility for their lives.
The organization encourages individuals to become mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy.
Our clients receive assistance with clothing, food, identification documents, job training, legal aid, medical and dental work, transportation, counseling, and recovery coaching. Additionally, we assist in finding permanent, stable housing or our Transitional Housing Program.
According to needs assessments, approximately 40% of the women set to be released from Rutherford County’s correctional facilities will either be homeless or will return to an unsafe environment that will put them at high risk for relapse or recidivism. We encourage these clients to apply for our transitional housing program as they are much more likely to succeed in this environment since it’s safe and structured.
