​What does it looks like to thrive after homelessness?

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. 

Through our Restoration program, we aim to meet our neighbors, during this critical period, within 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?

WE START TO HEAL THE MOMENT WE FEEL HEARD 
Therapy & RecoverY

Until we create a safe space where one may feel heard and seen, it is difficult to support someone breaking out of trauma one has found themselves in.

We intentionally serve minds, bodies, and souls to bring holistic healing to our community. We are partnering with counselors and therapists to build weekly group therapy and recovery classes. We have also found that non-traditional therapy opportunities are a better fit for our community. We listen to both the community and the counselors' and therapists' recommendations to bring personalized support on their journey - whether through art therapy, music therapy, or equine therapy.
