Did You Know...?

This year marks the third in a row that the Alachua County Jail housed more homeless individuals during the survey (115) than any single homeless housing program.

What is the Faces of GRACE?

The Faces of GRACE Speaker's Bureau provides experts in the field of homelessness - homeless people themselves - to area churches, schools and civic organizations looking to learn more about the issue. In partnership with the National Coalition for the Homeless, the program offers a glimpse of the people behind the statistics, and their stories, struggles and successes.
