The I’m Going Home Initiative provides linkage and passage between a person who is homeless and their loved ones. Through this linkage, the person in need is welcomed home by a family member or friend who has agreed to support and care for the person upon their arrival. The I’m Going Home package includes the following: documentation, transportation, and a Grace Care Bag. Participants are contacted upon arrival, after one week, one month, and again at 3 months. At the 3-month follow-up, only 5% of people are back on the streets after being united.
The Grace Care Bag contains the following: Assorted sandwiches, snacks, juice and water. Included in bag are any required medications, reading, puzzles or entertainment materials, and a contract which list the rules and terms of a mutual contract that a homeless person must abide by in order to return home and live in residence.
Watch Rikhea Shirley’s heartbreaking and uplifting real-life testimonial about big dreams in New Orleans that left her and her family homeless, and how Grace at the Green Light was there in her most desperate hour of need to help them get home and back on their feet.
