THE ELISE & JIM BLAIR FUND
The Elise & Jim Blair Fund (EJBF) makes it possible for JGHS shelter guests to receive one-on-one counseling with a licensed clinician at the shelter.
An overwhelming majority of people experiencing homelessness have a history of complex trauma, and homelessness itself is a traumatic experience. Having an experienced clinician available to shelter guests can improve each client’s day-to-day quality of life in the shelter, provide crucial support to service coordinators, and lead to better long-term outcomes all around. Through working with a licensed clinician clients can learn and practice skills that will ultimately help them to retain housing once they are housed
Due to increased demand, we need your ongoing and increased support to ensure this work can continue. Given the EJBF clinician’s current caseload, we need to raise $26,400 in 2025 to support the cost of the program. With $2,200 a month, JGHS clients will receive the condential support of an experienced clinician onsite at the shelter.
Please donate today to help us reach our $26,400 goal!
