Highlights

- GGRIHN emphasizes keeping families together during a difficult time in their lives.

- GGRIHN represents good stewardship of community resources as it makes use of existing buildings and an extensive network of volunteers from our participating congregations.

- GGRIHN increases awareness and puts a face on homelessness for over 1000 volunteers a year.

- GGRIHN is one of over 140 similar networks across the United States associated with Family Promise, a national organization dedicated to helping low-income families achieve lasting independence.
