During more than five years working with individuals navigating shelter instability and systems of poverty, Faith and Trauma Center founders Christie Love and Holly Madden’s church plant, which they founded, created several innovative outreach efforts to meet the needs of their neighbors and friends. They both have included the guides for the programs they created to help other faith leaders who might be interested in duplicating these programs in their own communities.
