The Second Chance Project is a non-profit organization empowered to find housing and enrich the lives of the homeless in the Des Moines metro and surrounding communities.
Second Chance Project offers a variety of programs designed to achieve faster results with housing the homeless. Food, hotel accommodations ( extreme emergency), safe travel back home to family ( bus or train), resume building, job assistance, housing representation, and fast access to the DMV and Social Security Administration are several of the ways 2CP supports the homeless. Second Chance Project believes that Jesus did not pick and choose who to serve, he saved everybody.
Thanks to the support of donors and volunteers, the Second Chance Project has been able to make a significant impact in our local communities. As of May 28th, 2024, they have helped over 172 families end their homeless struggles, and the Second Chance Project is on target to change the lives of 300 homeless people by the end of the first year in operation.
