Hey all! For those that don't know, or those that want some details, I started my new part time job for Family Promise yesterday. FP is an Interfaith Hospitality Network, that works at providing shelter, food and support services to homeless families. There are about 17 Churches that participate. The families (usually about 3 of them) spend a week at a Church, sleeping there at night and getting meals from volunteers. During the day, the adults go to the day center to search for jobs or housing while the kids go to school/daycare or just hang out. At the end of the week, everyone packs up and will spend the new week at another Church.
I will be working as a case manager to these families from 1-7 everday. Family Promise has an 89% effective rate and I really feel called to this great program. Mindy (the director and "boss") is sooo cool and she's going to be easy to work with. All I've done so far is read manuals, sign forms and all but soon I'll be diving into the good stuff!
I'm still working with the ACT Team (adults w/mental illness) from 8-12 everday, until they find a replacement for me. So far, it's working out okay, just very exhausting!
