Using this aftercare approach, RAIN has experienced reduced incidents of relapse and recidivism.

RAIN participates in collaborative efforts and attributes many of our accomplishments to these local networks – so we support them whenever possible.  Part of our mission as a faith-based housing nonprofit is to help create networks of welcoming churches, sustainable wage employers, and friendly landlords in six US states and soon, Oaxaca, Mexico.
