CEO of New Directions, discusses the organization's current focus on their family shelter and the success they've had in keeping families together. Jenkins highlights how they serve diverse family types and mentions the recent achievements of families moving into permanent housing, with some dads finding employment through connections made within the shelter.
Evans outlines the funding and support they receive from various sources, including the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families and DSS (Department of Social Services). He also touches on their federal grants focused on responsible fatherhood and their efforts in working with young men in high schools to encourage responsible decision-making and delay early fatherhood.
New Directions was created "to help those experiencing homelessness, poverty, and addiction move from crisis, to connection, to community."
