LEXINGTON RESCUE MISSION

RESTORATIVE SERVICES - In 2024, we ministered to 364 people who were experiencing unsheltered homelessness by meeting their immediate needs, and we provided ongoing case management to 87 of those clients. Many of those clients came to The Outreach Center for daytime shelter, where 126 people without an address received 578 mail deliveries, 72 people were able to get 179 loads of laundry done, and 266 showers were provided to people through Dignity Station. Our team was also able to get 18 people into temporary emergency shelter, 65 people into substance abuse treatment, and 14 moved into permanent housing. During these winter months, our Street Outreach is helping to manage rooms for the citys winter weather shelter, and we provided 41 people with 1,592 nights of safe overnight shelter at the motel as well as case management and support. In 2024, our Homeless Intervention Program team helped 63 households move out of homelessness and into housing, including 76 adults and 34 children. They also prevented 3 households from eviction. This included providing housing navigation, rental assistance, a support group, case management, financial literacy training, and pastoral counseling. In 2024, we housed 109 men and 18 women in our transitional homes - The Potter's House, House of Hope, and Grace Place providing the support they needed to rebuild their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. During their stay at the mission, 76 engaged in volunteer service, 70 gained employment, 107 maintained their sobriety, 5 returned to rehab, 39 reunified with their families, 9 obtained permanent housing, and 6 were baptized.
