We're already exploring ways that ICAN and Stable Families can work together to help families facing homelessness in Rome! When the community comes together, we can stop family homelessness for those who are able and willing to work towards stability and greater self-sufficiency.

The church rectory is being transformed into a six-unit, transitional housing complex, with plans for the sanctuary ranging from a winter warming center to a possible vocational training facility, according to ICAN leaders. Reconstruction began in May and they hope to have the new housing up and run...

Jean, our faithful volunteer, is restocking our Care Closet with donated hygiene, cleaning, and paper products. Our clients can select items, including beautiful handmade afghans, after attending a class or meeting. This helps extend their budgets and care for their families. Let us know if you'd like to help!

A big thanks to our friends at Delta Lake Bible Conference Center for hosting our Planting Seeds of Hope event last night! They did a wonderful job in making this a very special evening.

Last night, 190 people came together for our Planting Seeds of Hope event united by one mission: to see zero family homelessness in Rome.

Together, we learned more about the realities families in Rome are facing and the importance of providing not only immediate support, but also the tools, resources, and stability families need to avoid and overcome homelessness.

One of the most powerful parts of the night was seeing so many individuals, churches, businesses, and community partners standing side by side for this cause.

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, donors, speakers, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. We could not do this work without you.

Together, we are planting seeds of hope that will continue to grow in the lives of families throughout our community. 🌱
