Grace Place Properties “Provides Intentional Ministry Solutions for Complex Social Problems.” There is no more complex social problem than men and women who have been incarcerated returning back to their communities. Without help, guidance, and the safety of a Christ-centered community, the chances of these men and women returning to both the dysfunction of their previous life and the crime that not only impacted their life but the lives of the victims and communities from which they came is great.
Grace Place Properties addresses these complex social issues from two related but distinctive perspectives: transitional living in a Christ-centered environment which keeps the community accountable and connected. Secondly, each participant is engaged in a program that combines both online and in-person courses addressing the spiritual, emotional, recovery, and re-entry needs of each person. Personal case management for each participant with a customized exit/transition plan is a part of their program.
Creating sustainable grace centered communities, designed to transform and then transition willing individuals back into their families and their neighborhoods.
We provide all of the needs a returning citizen (formerly incarcerated person) has. These needs for participants include...
-Clothing
-Bedding
-Funds for ID's and Birth Certificates for those that don't have those things
-Glasses
-Transportation for Job Hunting
-Initial medical and psychological screenings if cost is involved.
Organizationally, we are in need of the following...
-A refreshing and overhaul of our current website.
-Additional components to our case management portfolio.
-General maintenance repairs to a property that is 60 years old.
Grace Place Properties strives to create an environment of grace and belonging by helping participants through the following process...
1. Provide affordable, safe, transitional housing and programming to stabilize and equip each participant for the rigors of everyday life.
2. Create second chance economic opportunities through a network of "felon friendly" employment partners so that every man and woman who comes through Grace Place Properties has the dignity of working and providing for themselves.
3. Connect our participants with the Body of Christ for worship and service opportunities.
A Grace Place Property participant does not have to have a relationship with Christ to receive the services provided. However, we unashamedly teach from a Christ-centered, evidence-based perspective.
