Product overview

Crazy8 Ministries operates as a faith-based nonprofit offering a suite of interconnected programs focused on attacking suburban poverty through housing, counseling, and community empowerment. The organization provides two primary housing tracks: the Empowerment Program (a 2-year four-phase program) and the Stay to Save (up to 1 year affordable housing), both designed to transition women and families from surviving to thriving. Complementing housing is the Biblical Counseling/Discipleship Ministry offering free one-on-one counseling services, and the Biblical Counseling Certification Program (BCCP) for those seeking to become certified biblical counselors. Community engagement is facilitated through events like the annual City On A Hill Festival, worship/prayer gatherings, and fundraising events including Ocho Loco 5K and Golfing for the Good Tournament. The organization also operates the All Things New resale shop, a Healing Prayer Room, and a rentable Connections Building for community events.
