DISCLAIMER
Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We are self supporting and we do NOT receive any government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.
This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters . At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.
***
If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone. Tell the receiver your situation and what you need. They will give you information specific for the location you are currently in plus any referrals you may need. They have the most up to the minute information for your specific area. Dialing “211” will get you help and much more info than this office can provide. Homeless to Independence wants you to have all the information you need to get through the situation you are in.
Don’t have a land-line telephone??? Go to your local police department, library, or house of worship and ask to use their land-line telephone. They may even make the call on your behalf.

Discover Mississippi’s 21 Certified Retirement Cities
Hometown Mississippi Retirement is proud to present 21 Certified Retirement Cities – the best hometowns for retirement living in
the state. To qualify as a Certified Retirement City, each town must pass through a three-month intensive screening process
conducted by Hometown Mississippi Retirement, the state’s official retiree attraction program. Cities are evaluated on the criteria
important to retirees including affordable cost of living, low taxes, low crime rate, quality medical care, recreation, educational and
cultural opportunities, and most importantly, a warm, welcoming community.
Our 21 Certified Retirement Cities throughout the state offer a variety of lifestyles. You can choose from quaint towns or settle in a
more metropolitan area. A number of our cities are home to universities, and all are served by community colleges. History lives in
antebellum architecture, and retired military enjoy privileges at the five major military installations in the state. No matter what
terrain you choose – rolling hills, flatlands, lush forested areas, or the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico – a mild four-season climate
lets you enjoy the outdoors year-round. For complete information and details about each of the 21 Certified Retirement Cities, log on
