We Care About People
Our Mission Statement
Get Back Up With Grace exists to stand in the gap for people experiencing homelessness and housing instability. We do this by:
- Listening to people’s stories with respect and without judgment
- Helping connect them to safe shelter, housing, and essential services.
- Partnering with local shelters, service providers, and community groups.
- Educating the public so our neighbors are seen, valued, and supported.
Our Vision
We envision communities where no one is left on the streets, every person has a safe place to call home, and people are met with GRACE—not judgment—when they fall.
We see a future where:
- People can ask for help without shame and actually get it.
- Shelters and services are not just places to survive a night, but places where people feel seen, supported, and guided toward long-term stability.
- Communities understand that housing is a basic human need, not a reward, and respond with compassion rather than blame.
In that future, when someone stumbles—because of job loss, trauma, illness, or anything else—there is a net of people, organizations, and resources ready to help them Get Back Up With Grace.
