Madison Urban Ministries'
Greater Isthmus Group (GIG)* invites members of faith communities to join them in addressing the housing needs of those returning to our community from incarceration.

How can you help? GIG is looking for individuals and groups who are willing to help current inmates address their future housing needs through budgeting, learning their housing rights, filling out paperwork, and connecting with helpful resources.

What is required? Can you manage your own money and housing needs? Do you care about helping others do the same to improve their quality of life? Then you're just the sort of expert GIG needs on a very limited basis - most likely only a few hours a week.

* The Greater Isthmus Group is a cluster of individuals and congregations concentrated on action related to homelessness and affordable housing for those at or below 35% of Dane County Median Income. GIG is supported by Madison-area Urban Ministries and meets monthly at Immanuel.
