Partner With Us
A household this small only works because of people outside it.
Churches, employers, recovery organizations, donors, and neighbors in Jacksonville. Some partners send us residents. Some hire them. Some help finish a room. All of it is the same work.
Four Ways In
Find the one that fits you.
Churches
Be the congregation that knows our residents by name. Mentors, small groups, rides, and a pew that’s theirs.
Employers
Hire someone who is accountable to a household, drug tested, and highly motivated to keep the job.
Recovery organizations
Treatment centers, reentry programs, and outreach ministries with people who need a stable next step.
Donors & neighbors
Help us finish the last two bedrooms — or furnish them, stock them, or pray for the people who’ll sleep in them.
The Current Need
Two bedrooms. About $4,000. Two more people home.
This isn’t an abstract fundraising goal. The renovation is nearly finished. Two rooms are left, and when they’re done, this house goes from three residents to seven.
That’s four more people who don’t spend next winter in a car, a shelter, or a situation that was going to end badly. The math is unusually simple.
Prefer to give materials, furniture, or labor instead of money? That helps just as much — tell us in the form and we’ll match it to a specific need.
What’s left to finish
- Flooring for both bedrooms
- Drywall finishing, primer, and paint
- Closet doors, trim, and hardware
- Lighting, ceiling fans, and smoke detectors
- Two beds, two dressers, two nightstands
- Bedding, curtains, and the small things that make a room feel like yours
Estimated total remaining: roughly $4,000 in materials and labor.
For Employers
Hire someone who has more reason than most to show up.
Jacksonville employers who give people a second chance tell us the same thing: these are often their most reliable hires.
Our residents live under a house standard that includes sobriety, random testing, weekly accountability, and a curfew. They have a place to sleep, a way to get to work, and a household that notices when they’re slipping. That is a very different candidate than someone job-hunting out of a shelter.
We’re not asking for charity hires. We’re asking you to interview someone.
What you get as an employer partner
- Candidates who are housed, sober, and accountable
- A direct line to us if attendance or performance slips
- Residents supported to arrive on time and stay employed
- Roles that fit — trades, warehouse, food service, logistics, maintenance, landscaping, retail and more
- A quiet way to live out second chances in your own business
For Churches & Ministries
A house can give someone structure. Only a church can give them a family.
Residents move out eventually. The congregation that learned their name is what stays.
We’re looking for churches in Jacksonville willing to genuinely receive our residents — not as a project, but as people. Someone to sit with them, disciple them, hand them a job to do, and keep calling after they’ve moved on.
Ways a church can partner
- Welcome residents into services and small groups
- Provide mentors and discipleship relationships
- Offer rides on Sundays and to midweek gatherings
- Send someone with a skill to help finish the last two rooms
- Adopt the house in prayer, by name
- Refer people in your congregation who need a stable place
Start the Conversation
Tell us how you’d like to help.
No commitment required. We’ll write back personally and talk through what makes sense.
Two things to settle: (1) whether Saved By Grace House is set up as a 501(c)(3) or is currently operating as a for-profit shared living home, since that determines whether gifts can be described as tax-deductible — nothing on this page claims deductibility, and it shouldn’t until that’s confirmed; and (2) whether you want an online giving link (Stripe, PayPal, Givelify, or a church acting as fiscal sponsor). Once you have one, the “I want to help finish a room” button becomes a Give button in about five minutes.
Grace multiplies when it’s handed on.
Every partner here makes room for someone who had nowhere to go.
