At JM Barnes Outreach Ministries, we provide essential rental and utility assistance to individuals and families facing financial hardship, helping them avoid eviction and the disconnection of services. Beyond immediate financial relief, we offer resources and guidance to empower those we serve to regain stability, maintain their housing, and improve their quality of life. Our holistic approach addresses both the urgent needs and long-term solutions necessary to break the cycle of housing instability and prevent homelessness.


In addition to financial assistance, we are expanding our services to include fair housing education and advocacy. We aim to equip our community with the knowledge and support needed to recognize housing discrimination, understand their rights under the Fair Housing Act, and take action when those rights are violated. Our goal is to help create a more just and informed housing environment for everyone.


We work closely with individuals to provide not only monetary support but also education and tools, such as budgeting guidance, job search assistance, and access to community resources, to help them achieve sustainable self-sufficiency.


 

Our Vision


We envision a community where every individual has a safe and stable place to call home. By empowering lives through compassionate support, comprehensive services, and long-term solutions, we aim to transform futures and build a stronger, more resilient community where homelessness is prevented and everyone can thrive.

Community


We believe that strong communities are built when individuals and families have access to safe, stable housing and fair opportunities. At JM Barnes Outreach Ministries, we support our community not just through direct assistance, but by advocating for housing justice and empowering people with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive. When we strengthen communities, we strengthen lives.
