PROGRAMS

  • The Step by Step Reentry Services Center has a wide range of outreach services to help you get back on your feet. We have a food pantry and laundry service to get you started. Our case management staff can help you find jobs and get government identification and birth certificates. Step by Step offers temporary shelter and recovery housing referrals. We offer food, clothing, and other essential need services through our case managers, and other essential resources of help you need.

  • We have two full-time case managers who identify and organize different care options to best meet our clients' mental, physical, and emotional health needs. Our case managers take a wholistic approach for our clients well-being by advocating for and finding services that meet their needs.

  • We have a homestead in downtown Greenville, a Men’s Shelter shared community for workforce and economic mobility. At a time when people are homeless as a result of chemical abuse, just graduating treatment, or have a criminal background and post-incarceration, our home provides shelter, food, clothing, and a safe and secure place for our clients while they rebuild their lives.

  • We partner with different companies in and around Greenville County who accept individuals with handicaps and barriers that are experiencing homelessness or community barriers seeking access for formerly incarcerated persons as employees and not rotc (retired on the corner, nimby) . We find job placements and help with job applications, resume building, etc. for our participants, 80% of whom stay in these job placements permanently or move to a higher level position.

  • We provide reliable and supportive transportation to and from jobs, doctors and other appointments, and other needs for our clients. Clients know that they have reliable transportation and can be to work, appointments, and other commitments on time.

  • We partner with other organizations who offer wellness classes, healing retreats, counseling services, trauma care, and advocacy training to help our clients heal from past traumas and move forward emotionally and mentally. This is a vital part of our holistic approach in caring for our clients.

  • We encourage women and men to become community leaders when they are stable. We partner with Restoration Women on the Rise (R.W.O.R). This leadership development training program helps women learn etiquette and critical life skills management training to find their voice and sovereignty through their voice and place of community service and to become an advocate in their community for women's rights & restoration of civil and human rights of formerly incarcerated individuals. Our monthly course trainings include etiquette, which allows women and men to sharpen their leadership skills, get involved in the education and history of their ancestor lineage and culture for knowledge of traditions and values that unknowingly have plagued families, and especially for people of color to become a leader in the movement for social justice to stand up for their rights and make positive changes that adversely affect people of color every day because of arrest and conviction histories.

  • Past clients who have graduated from our program return to mentor and support current clients. This beautiful healing circle brings hope to current clients, who see that it is possible to reenter society and be successful. Peer mentors walk alongside residents, meet with them regularly, and participate in events with them.

GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING

Our success is measured by the number of women, men, and children we can help move out of homelessness, reduce self-harm, eliminate post-institutional barriers, and address emotional and mental fears to overcome the upheavals of life that impede spirituality, growth, and community stabilization. Our purpose is to improve community wellness and move men, families, and single women onto a healthier path of life and to a permanent home.

Street Homelessness and formerly incarcerated men and women are helped to physically unfold through our comprehensive care delivery and supportive case management and are surrounded by a healthy and nurturing family-like living environment. The formerly incarcerated are provided peer support through the SAFE Housing Replication Model for Reentry Services. Under the leadership of founding director Angela Hurks, the Step By Step Ministry Hope Project has been transforming the lives of homeless and formerly incarcerated women, men, and children since 2008, nearly two decades. ‘Because when you get locked up, you get locked out.’
