Why Philippians Place: Gaps in Community Services

Gap: No central location for information and/or resources, assessment, or to complete assessments

Solution: We distribute resource information, complete intakes and assessments for people who are homeless or are about to be homeless.

Gap: Jacksonville does not have a homeless prevention program, and clients receiving permanent supportive housing may not have funds for utility deposits.

Solution: Provide services to help pay back-rent, utility and rent deposits. Clients can attend life skills classes, or volunteer to earn vouchers

Gap: Many people become homeless because they do not have the necessary skills to be self-sustaining.

Solution: Provide life skill classes (budgeting, meal planning, completing job applications, etc.), Bible studies, gardening, etc.

Gap: People who are homeless getting an apartment often need furnishings and supplies

Solution: Clients volunteer and attend classes to earn vouchers to get furniture and supplies
