HOPE Survival Guide 2016

A Guide to Services for People Experiencing Homelessness

The Survival Guide is compiled annually by the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center. Until this guide was created, there was no single resource for people experiencing homelessness to reference so that they can access the services they need independently.

The Agency Listing and Reference sections of this Guide provide information about public and private agencies and organization offering services to homeless people.
Please note the following:

  1. All the information in this Guide was collected from the agencies themselves and every effort possible was made to ensure accuracy. If there has been an error, please contact The Mid- South Peace and Justice Center and we will update them on our next list.
  2. Inclusion of a particular program or service in this directory does not constitute endorsement, nor omission disapproval of a program or service.
  3. Please be aware that many of the agencies and organizations listed in this Guide have limited resources. The fact that they are included does not guarantee that they are able to help everyone who is referred to them.

Download a print-friendly version of the 2016 Homeless Survival Guide

The page layout of this document is set especially so you can print and distribute your own copies of the survival guide. There are even places for you to insert your logo or ads so that it can be customized. Please print and distribute widely.

Bring Back Our 31 Crosstown!

GREETINGS TRANSIT WARRIORS!

The RIDER newsletter is currently under construction. We apologize for our absence and for the bad formatting. We will be back to normal by the end of the week!

In the mean time:

Join ATU Local 713 and the Memphis Bus Riders Union as we launch our campaign to restore the 31 Crosstown!

The Memphis Bus Riders Union and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 713 are launching a new campaign with a petition to restore the 31 Crosstown, a historic bus route eliminated by Memphis Area Transit Authority in 2013. The two groups represent hundreds of MATA drivers and riders who say that “the route was a lifeline” for under served neighborhoods in North and South Memphis.

The campaign hopes to revive MATA’s ridership by restoring the service that current riders want. Willie Barber, Business Agent for Local 713 says that public opinion of MATA can be repaired by reinstating the 31.

“Any bus rider will tell you how important this route is. MATA’s own reports show the 31 Crosstown had the third highest daily ridership of all the routes, about 2,600 passengers a day. Because it went into the neighborhoods of Riverside and New Chicago, areas where many households have no vehicle, and connected those residents with resources as well as other major routes in Midtown.” he said.
