Remnant Initiatives was born out of identifying three critical local problems. Yes, the problems are national in nature, but we know we can only address what is in our control and so we have focused on the local as the dream for this organization.
FIRST, after years of working with women in prison and women transitioning back to life on the outside, we realized that our community was not equipped to serve individuals and families that have been involved with the criminal justice system. There are many organizations who do a good job serving those families and individuals with basic and emergency needs, but once a person is ready to move into sustainable housing, employment and working to build a new, healthy, sustainable way of life, we were falling flat in our local context.
