Description

JoCo IHN is a 501 (c)(3) non profit that provides shelter and meals to families and
single women who are experiencing temporary homelessness in Johnson County,
Kansas. An unexpected job layoff, long-term illness, divorce, or death of a loved one
can turn entire families homeless almost overnight. JoCo IHN is an interfaith
intervention program that helps restore stability to motivated, situationally homeless
families and single women. JoCo IHN is in its 19th year of service to those in need
and is supported by over 3,000 trained volunteers. Our website, www.jocoihn.org,
contains information about the people we serve, the services we provide, and the
local churches that support us. Since our organization began in 2004, the program
has lifted up and empowered 870 individuals, 500 of which are children, and 92 are
single women. JoCo IHN and area churches have provided 55,919 overnight
accommodations, as well as 167,757 meals.
