ENVISION SANTA FE
Envision Santa Fe is the latest project of the ILA. The ILA provides volunteers from its many member faith groups to serve as mentor/advocates to families transitioning from homelessness to permanency and self-sufficiency. With Santa Fe social service agencies providing case management, mentors for each family member, help and guide families to acquire housing, furniture, education and skills so that they can maintain independence. Envision Santa Fe works with seven families over the course of two years and makes available access to $3000 during that time for one time expenses such as a utility deposit, car repairs or emergency medical care.
