Renee McCormick spent three years serving the lost, last and least of Atlanta as a volunteer for the City of Refuge. As she developed relationships and encouraged women to go into recovery for their addictions, she began to see a pattern. Ladies would go into an addiction recovery program, and in a short time, would be back out on the streets. They had no place to go and no support system in place to empower their recovery. The Grant Park House of Hope was opened in May of 2005 in response to the desperate need for a positive and safe, structured environment for women to take the next step to recovery.

OUR VISION is to restore hope, health and life to women with addictions through the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

OUR MISSION is to offer a loving discipleship living environment where women learn responsibility, to set boundaries and practical life skills that will allow them to lead productive and independent lives in Christ.

OUR RESIDENTS have histories of chronic substance abuse, homelessness and/or have been incarcerated. As a result their needs are many and varied and may include:

Mental health issues
Physical challenges
Educational and employment barriers
Histories of domestic abuse and violence

These needs are met through the provision of a range of services available and designed for each individual in cooperation with government agencies, local churches and ministries, private businesses and other community organizations.

OUR GOAL is to help our residents attain an independent, empowered and healthy lifestyle free of addictions. The goal is attained through:

Discipleship (Matt. 28:19) includes a Christ based 12 step program, relapse prevention studies, in depth bible studies and daily devotions.
Stewardship (Luke 16: 10-11) encompasses gaining and maintaining employment, handling budgeting and finances as well as setting personal goals and learning to set boundaries.
Healing (Romans 12:2) to help aid in the physical, mental and emotional healing of our residents which includes health and wellness program, random drug screening, licensed Christians counselors, mentor and prayer partner program.

OUR NEEDS

Prayer warriors willing to stand in the gap for the women in the house and the leadership of the house
Teachers willing to teach bible curriculum and life skills classes
Mentors willing to spend one on one time with women in the house
Financial support to meet basic operating costs and beyond

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners. Isaiah 61:1
