WAYS TO GIVE
OUR PROGRAMS
Congregational Shelter
During the most dangerous climates of the year, the community comes together. November thru March and May thru September, a network of local faith communities partners with RITI to provide overnight shelter for small groups of individuals. These shelters are hosted in the congregations’ places of worship, offering a warm, safe space for those in need during extreme weather conditions.
Recuperative Care Center
In 2021, RITI Memphis opened the Mid-South’s first Recuperative Care Center for people experiencing homelessness. This program specifically caters to medically fragile individuals who are referred by healthcare providers. The Recuperative Care Center offers shelter and comprehensive case management to help these individuals recover while also working toward long-term housing solutions.
Family Inn
Launched in 2021, the Family Inn provides shelter to families experiencing homelessness. Families are supported in a 24/7 facility located in Memphis’ Medical District, where they receive assistance from the Family Inn Director and Family Advocate. These professionals guide the families through the process of locating and moving into permanent housing, ensuring they receive the resources needed for a successful transition.
ROOM IN THE INN CAMPUS
Thanks to the partners listed below and the help of our faithful supporters, Spring 2021 brought a new chapter for Room in the Inn – Memphis as we finally found a place to call home at 409 Ayers Street.
Once one of the few places in Memphis that offered healthcare to African Americans and space for Black doctors and nurses to practice, the historic Collins Chapel Hospital campus now lives on as a place of hope, healing, and holy hospitality as the home of Room in the Inn.
Still Growing
In July 2024, RITI took yet another giant leap in growth as the community gathered to celebrate the renovations of the second building on campus. “Today, we celebrate an opportunity to expand our capacity to serve families with children who come to our Family Inn on this campus for a place to breathe and a place to find new ways to navigate systems that are often beyond their capacity,” said Lisa Anderson, executive director of Room in the Inn.
