imagining life after experiencing homelessness

Support by Donating

​In 2020, People Loving Nashville began to work with the “Rapid Rehousing Initiative” partnering with like-minded agencies and the city in housing hundreds of people living on the streets.

During this time, we have seen a beautiful opportunity. There is a critical time during the transition from homelessness to “homefulness”. Addressing deep trauma and grief that people could be  carrying is key to sustainability. People easily slip through the cracks, we want to be there when they do.

What it looks like to thrive after homelessness?

Through our Restoration program, we aim to meet people during this critical period, at their new home and set the table to nourish their minds, bodies, and souls.

MIND: Counseling, Goal-Setting, Art, and Equine Therapy.
BODY: Cooking, Cleaning, Organization, Finances, and Physical awareness.
​SOUL: Intro to the Healer, what is the kingdom like?

Therapy & RecoverY
We start to heal the moment we feel heard. 

Until we create a safe space for someone, where they feel heard & seen, we can't help them break out of the cycles they have found themselves in.

We are intentionally serving their body, mind, & soul to bring holistic healing to our friend through weekly lunch & check-ins and monthly art or group activities. (The video is from one of our monthly art activities)

We are also partnering with counselors & therapists to build weekly group therapy & recovery classes.  Based on the counselor & therapist's recommendations, we will work with our friends to bring additional individual support.
