As a faith-based Christian organization RRM assists people with breaking the cycle of poverty while living at the Mission. This unique plan centers around three strategic pillars:  focus on children to end generational poverty; jobs matter, as a full-time job and GED make poverty less likely; and access to stable housing, which builds self-sufficiency and wealth to eliminate poverty.  Through meals, housing, counseling, education, career development and many types of ongoing client support, RRM impacts the lives of the more than 1,200 people who come to them for services each year.  In Wake County, where RRM is located, the convergence of a higher number of homeless, a shrinking supply of affordable housing, and greater unemployment creates still more demand.  Because of the power of Jesus Christ, many of these clients are experiencing a new transformed life.
