My Sister’s Place is a Christ-centered ministry for single women and mothers with children who are experiencing homelessness in Northeast Georgia.
The team at My Sister’s Place is here to help our residents overcome the obstacles that led to their previously unstable living situations. Our 90-day program takes a whole-person approach by equipping our residents with support in every area of their lives. The goal of this program is for our residents to increase their income, find affordable housing, and be prepared for independent living. Most importantly, we offer spiritual guidance and encouragement to sustain them after they leave us. Everything we do is informed by our deep and abiding faith in the love of God and His Word.
Goal setting, budgeting, and wellness are hallmarks of our 90-day program. Using the Arizona Self-Sufficiency Matrix, our residents are encouraged to identify barriers to self-sufficiency, create personalized action plans, and forge a path of positive change. Our client advocates come alongside our residents, linking them to critical government and community resources that will assist them in their goal of obtaining permanent housing. Knowing that spiritual enrichment is an essential part of the journey, residents are invited to attend church services as a group, as well as weekly Bible studies and devotionals.
The face of homelessness can be seen in the people you encounter every day. She is the server at your favorite restaurant, the receptionist assisting you at the front desk, or the mom in the school pickup line. Many of the women and children we serve lost their housing as a result of a major life change or devastating event such as a job loss, divorce, estrangement from family, or health emergency. We know that under the wrong circumstances, homelessness can affect anyone.
