The GIFTS Me’s Shelter in Janesville is learning that when one door closes a window opens.
Officials say the Board of Directors for Beginnings Group Foster Home have announced the closing of the facility they have operated at 502 East Homes Street in Janesville since the 1970’s. The building itself is being donated to GIFTS to operate as a transitional living “Life Recovery Home.”
The men must qualify to live in the home after a minimum of five months of progress working towards their goals.
GIFTS currently operates a 42 bed homeless shelter for men at 1025 North Washington Street.
GIFTS provides immediate support for men in Rock County with shelter, clothing, food and personal care items, while providing assessments and the creation of a Life Improvement Plan. Over 40 churches provide services through sheltering and resource support.
