What Grassroots Empowerment Project Inc does
Mission
Creating opportunities for people seeking mental health, recovery, and wellness to exercise power in their lives.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Peer Run Respites are homelike facilities run by and for individuals with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges. These programs are intended to serve as a short-term, residential resource for individuals who are experiencing an increase in symptoms or stressors who need and want peer support to aid in their recovery and thereby avert crises and avoid hospitalization.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
