🎉 ABOUT REDEMPTION CITY

Redemption City seeks to help people experiencing homelessness find shelter while providing comprehensive and holistic care. We are rooted in a deep conviction that every human being has incredible value, worth and dignity. We want to help restore that dignity. We strive to impart skills so they may thrive in life rather than simply housing and turning them back out to repeat the cycle.

🌟 What Makes Redemption City Different?

Focusing on job skills and a robust self-sufficiency plan, we feel that we will end the cycle of homelessness for our participants.

Shelter Focus: We aim to be a shelter focused on community and hope to be a safe space for our participants.
Personal Responsibility: Our program places a high emphasis on personal responsibility and participation in multiple life enrichment classes.
Established Connections: We connect our participants to established community resources focusing on mental health and well-being.
Thriving Environment: These efforts create an environment conducive to thriving as an individual.
