Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
PROVERBS 16:3
The day-to-day rhythm of the shelter is quite different from a year ago. We were at capacity and had just opened space for men and their children. Since then, we’ve had to reduce how many people we house and change many habits and procedures to keep residents well. Those efforts have paid off: As I write this, only one resident has tested positive for COVID.
I’m grateful our residents have stayed healthy. I’m also grateful that despite the pandemic, all the world’s distractions and ever-evolving needs, we remain focused on helping any survivor of any background in the name of Christ.
You’ll see some of the changes reflected in this newsletter. We’re hosting survivors for shorter stays, yet helping more residents than ever. We’re reaching further into the community so any survivor, whether or not they need housing, has access to supportive and protective services. And we’re helping families
secure permanent, safe housing so they can move forward independently and without fear.
We don’t have the option to lose our focus. Our mission is too important. Thank you for making this work possible.
