Sara Chandler and Amie Littrell are the Founders of The Grace Period Transitional Housing Program (TGP). Amie and Sara realized many people in the St. Charles, Missouri area were either completely homeless or hotel-poor homeless. This led to the creation of TGP, which is a transitional housing program for the working homeless and/or at risk working homeless and was founded in November 2019.
TGP’s mission: To move adults and families who can't yet afford stable housing into self-sufficiency by utilizing transitional housing, high accountability, education and goal setting led by a family-like, faith-based team of staff and volunteers.
One of TGP’s major obstacles, they are 100% individually funded meaning they do not accept any federal or state government funding and the reason why is because TGP is trying to help those who are not eligible for state assistance.
