Homelessness in Twin Lakes Area teenagers has been a growing problem over the years. Currently, it is estimated that over 150 local teens are without stable housing. Grace Abounds Counseling is on a mission to address homelessness and mental health among the area’s teens.

Grace Abounds founders Daniel and Joannie Grace will be guests on an upcoming episode of the Talk of the Town. Joannie Grace says her husband realized the need for the local nonprofit while he was going to school for counseling.
