"The Grace Period was more than just a house for me, it was about my whole life. I came because of the resources TGP offered , the welcoming staff , and help for me to regain my independence and self esteem. Before TGP , I was living in a hotel, with an eviction on my record, living pay check to paycheck, not knowing where my next meal was coming from. Now I meal plan , I have a full time job, my eviction is paid off, I am saving money for emergencies and am working on myself mentally and spiritually. I now have the self worth, I have been seeking. Thank you so much. "

"The Grace Period has done more than just helped us - it saved us.
My husband and I went from sleeping in our car and paying hundreds to thousands of dollars to hotels to having our own home. The Grace Period gave us peace of mind and made so many things more feasible as well as achievable.
The Grace Period has taught us life lessons that we will take with us forever and we are more than grateful.
This has been more than just a program for us- it's a family."
Thank you so much from

"You are all wonderful and I am just feeling so blessed that you are there. The support you have given me during this time of my life has no words to describe how it makes me feel!! One day I hope I can repay you just for having faith in me and taking time out of your day to talk with me and show me you care. You made it possible for me and my four kids to get our own apartment and I am now my own boss running my own company. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Budget management. My spending habits were terrible and it felt impossible to save but once I wrote down what I was spending and seeing where it was going. It helped a lot. It also helps with my sense of not being alone. And feeling everyone's presence. And feel that everyone really cared and truly wanted to help me and Brooklynn.
