Our Impact
We serve the community by providing: spiritual counseling / creative coaching sessions, spiritual healing sessions, workshops, lectures, concerts, events, & ceremonies to bring Ancestral, Cultural, Spiritual Healing to the community. Some of the unmet needs & social problems we address & help to solve are: the ongoing, never-ending demand for free, or low-cost healing support, advocacy & referral services to assist people in crisis in various areas, such as, medical, housing/homelessness, eviction prevention, affordable housing information & resources, counseling, & financial crisis. We have provided emotional & spiritual support & guidance to staff, owners, & managers of transitional housing & provided their clients with support in securing housing benefits & food stamps & provided problem-solving support, consultation, & referrals for staffing needs. We have stepped in where Homeless Agencies were challenged in assisting mentally ill & chronically homeless clients who had fallen through the cracks,, assisting them to finally accept support, thereby getting people directly off the street, including vulnerable women and seniors.
We have walked disabled & senior clients through the process of filing paperwork & interacting with Housing Authorities, on their behalf to secure & maintain their section 8 housing vouchers, as well as assisting them to find apartments & even security deposit assistance. We have assisted, both jazz artists and the larger community with these services, providing advocacy and referral services to secure temporary housing, permanent housing, & services, both during & prior to the covid pandemic, providing referrals & speaking with homeless agencies directly on their behalf to secure them vital, emergency housing & resources. We have also provide legal assistance & referral services to prevent illegal evictions & secure proper relocation fees when required to move when their apartment buildings were sold. There is also a constant demand for Crisis Counseling, Grief Counseling, & Spiritual Energy Healing Sessions (ongoing & emergency): These Spiritual Energy Healing Sessions take place (In-Home, in Hospitals, ERs,, Convalescent, Rehabilitation, & Assisted Living) environments.
People have required these services for free or negligible donations, as well as for our other programs, workshops, and events that are all designed to bring about support & inspiration for healing, growth, expansion, empowerment, wellness, 7 resilience for individuals & the community, (both jazz artists & others). URSPIRIT, Inc. has provided these services for the purpose of community healing, education, mentoring, support, and social justice, responding to Medical Emergencies & the frequent requests for our Homeless Advocacy, Grief Support, and other support services to seniors & the jazz community, including those in Recovery for Substance abuse, & on-the-spot, emergency assistance or dire healing support for those recovering in Rehabilitation Centers, Nursing Homes, Hospitals, ERs, (where those in crisis & most in need of our services are often without funds to pay at all, yet are never turned away for lack for on-the-spot, emergency assistance, often at hospitals, ERs, Convalescent centers, & in-home, etc.
We have been requested to do inspirational speaking, spiritual services, meditation sits, & healing workshops & events at drug rehabilitation and self-help and recovery centers & in transitional homes for women. & at assisted living, senior apartments, and senior centers where they have little or no funds, nor insurance to pay for such services.
