H U M A N I T Y M A G A Z I N E Genesis serves homeless, displaced, disabled, female veterans in Middle Georgia and surrounding areas, because they have served unconditionally for us. Even as the Pentagon lifts the ban on women in combat roles, returning servicewomen are facing a battlefield of a different kind: they are now the fastest growing segment of the homeless population; an ofteninvisible group bouncing between a soft air mattress, overnighting in public storage lockers, living in cars and learning to park inconspicuously on the outskirts of shopping centers to avoid the violence of the streets. The staggering number of women returning from active duty to homeless-ness represents a significant challenge that can no longer remain overlooked. How we target this concern will determine how we respond to incarceration and homelessness for many years to come. Mindful of these challenges, and that limited resources for these women are linked to recidivism and mental illness—they are calling for partners and community leaders to help alleviate these problems through creating programs throughout the community. They are asking individuals and businesses to partner with them, and to walk with them as they take the first steps to accomplishing what has been seemingly an unreachable task. Their clients may reach out to as a result of variety of situations: (1) homelessness; (2) the loss of a job or home; (3) the dissolution of a relationship; (4) release from incarceration; (5) release from a drug rehabilitation program; or (6) an abusive relationship. Genesis help women remain drug and alcohol free, obtain decent housing and employment, gain access to education, reunite with their children, secure resources for them, and maintain physical and emotional health, in a Christian environment, rather than engage in behaviors that result in abuse and homelessness. Genesis encourages women to connect with services that help them to become independent and continues to ramp up our programs to meet the needs of all homeless and at-risk female veterans. Genesis has partnered with Daughters I Believe In You (D.I.B.I.Y), a mentoring ministry headed by Prophetess Sconiers that fosters growth and legacy among women who are hurting or have lost confidence because of the struggles they have faced in life. Prophetess Sconiers’ community involvement has placed her in high demand at a variety of ministerial and professional venues. She is best known through her teachings and respected voice among circles of women, and is forward in her approach to the advancement of Genesis' mission. They believe that higher learning academics are an essential part to any rehabilitation model. Their desire has always been to develop mentoring and training programs that foster the most growth. They strongly believe that through incorporating God’s Word in a system of learning, participants will become strengthened in every area of their life. The information taught and communicated through the Genesis Joy House Model will encourage individuals to be a part of a unique and life changing program. They are excited to announce future partnerships with universities and other educational institutions that will contribute to a high impact season of learning and development for our participants. They offer participants hands-on executive training. These intense hands-on executive level classes are specifically designed to give participants high-end corporate and marketplace experience. There’s a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We can’t stop earthquakes, we can’t prevent droughts, and we can’t prevent all conflict, but when we know where the homeless exist, then we can help.
