Volunteers of America, GBR: Shiloh Ministries |
|
Shiloh Coordinating Ministries is operated under the Volunteers of America of
Greater Baton Rouge Foundation in cooperation with Shiloh Missionary Baptist
Church. This is a transitional housing program with on-site supervision and case
management services to assist homeless males 18 years of age and older, which
are disabled, unemployed or underemployed in hope to regain independency and
self-sufficiency. Funding from the Supportive Housing Program allows these
individuals supportive services and housing. Shiloh’s purpose is to promote job
skills and placement through daily training as participants transition to
independent living. SHP enables the Shiloh facility to offer 3 to 6 months of
free housing assistance (rent), mentoring services and employment assistance in
compliance with saving 50% of their earned income and a 10 p.m. curfew. Grant
funds were awarded under the 2001 SHP. The project is ongoing.
