Empowered Grace Homes provides safe, supportive housing for young women ages 17–21 who are aging out of foster care or experiencing homelessness. More than housing, our program is rooted in empowerment—helping each young woman recognize her self-worth, build confidence, and step into her purpose. Through a shared, community-centered living environment, residents receive the structure, guidance, and resources needed to grow into independent, capable adults.
Our program offers a balance of independence and support, equipping young women with life skills, educational and career guidance, and mentorship. Grounded in faith and compassion, Empowered Grace creates a space where young women are uplifted, restored, and reminded of their strength—because we believe every young woman deserves the opportunity to walk boldly in who she was created to be.

Dr. Kee-Kee JacksonFounder & Executive DirectorEmpowered Grace, Inc. was born from a vision to bring healing, stability and hope to teens and young adults navigating life’s challenges. I’ve seen how easily young people- especially those impacted by housing instability and foster care- can fall through the cracks. Empowered Grace, Inc. was created as a response to that need- a calling to provide not just basic physical needs, but holistic support. Guided by Ephesians 3:16, we believe God’s unlimited resources can empower all with inner strength to thrive in life. Through this work, we are committed to uplifting individuals and strengthening communities with purpose and impact.
