The Grace Space saw steady engagement from May 27 - June 5, with 199 total check-ins and 68 unique guests. Since opening, we have supported 207 unique guests across 2,346 total visits as they utilize essential amenities like showers, laundry, and device charging.
Referral coordination remains central to our operations. Over the past two weeks, RHI staff completed 25 service referrals (covering medical services, housing support, and substance use support), while visiting onsite providers recorded 3 check-ins.
Our latest success story highlights how we adapt to changing needs as summer approaches. To help guests handle rising temperatures and health risks like dehydration, the drop-in center provides a safe, air-conditioned space to escape the heat. We are also prioritizing the distribution of unlimited ice-cold water, reusable water bottles, and critical seasonal supplies like sunscreen, deodorant, and hydration drink mixes.
In line with our commitment to transparency, we are also sharing recent incident data. Over the past two weeks, there were no overdoses, mental health crises, or substance use incidents. Staff successfully managed 2 rule violations, 1 police interaction, 1 medical emergency, and 1 harassment/threat incident through de-escalation and community expectations.
Thank you to the staff, partners, and community organizations making this vital work possible every day!
