THE RARE PLACE INC.
Batteling Homelessness
At The RARE PLACE, INC., we recognize the deep connection between homelessness, mental health, and unemployment. Our dedicated initiatives focus on addressing these challenges holistically, ensuring that individuals who are homeless or at risk receive the comprehensive support they need to rebuild and sustain their lives.
Our Current Efforts
Collaboration with Community Services: We work closely with local community service providers to connect individuals facing homelessness with essential resources. Our partnerships allow us to offer:
Mental Health Support
Access to mental health services is crucial. We help individuals deal with the psychological impacts of homelessness through counseling, therapy, and support groups, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Temporary Housing Solutions
In collaboration with local agencies, we work to try and facilitate access to safe, temporary housing options. This is the first step towards stability, giving individuals a secure base from which to pursue personal and professional development.
Our Services Include
Resource Navigation
Helping individuals understand and access the available social services, healthcare, and governmental assistance.
Integrated Support Programs
Combining mental health support with job training and financial literacy education to foster independence and self-sufficiency.
Our Future Vision
Establishing Temporary Housing with Integrated Workforce Development: Looking ahead, we plan to create temporary housing facilities that do more than just provide shelter. Our vision includes:
On-Site Workforce
Development
These facilities will offer training programs right where residents live. From basic job skills to more specialized training depending on the job market demands, we aim to equip individuals with the tools needed for employment.
​
Mental Health and Financial Literacy Programs
Understanding that long-term success requires more than just job skills, our programs will include comprehensive mental health support and financial education. These are key to helping individuals manage their well-being and finances, empowering them to maintain stability and avoid future homelessness.
