Building Brighter Futures Together.

Heart of Grace Support Services (HGSS) is a Louisiana-based nonprofit dedicated to helping underserved youth, justice-involved individuals, and families overcome barriers to success through mentoring, housing support, mental health coordination, job readiness training, and reentry assistance.

Hope Begins with Support

At HGSS, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to thrive no matter their past or present challenges. Our mission is to equip youth and families with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to build brighter, more stable futures.

Through compassion, community, and connection, we help individuals move from surviving to truly thriving.

Programs That Change Lives

We offer a holistic approach to support that meets people where they are addressing immediate needs while building pathways to long-term success.

Youth Mentoring Program

Connecting at-risk youth with caring mentors who build confidence, life skills, and positive relationships.

Reentry Support Services

Guiding youth and young adults as they reintegrate into the community with structure, trust, and opportunity.

Housing Navigation & Stabilization

Helping individuals and families find safe, stable housing and access essential resources.

Mental Health Support Coordination

Coordinating care with trusted providers so every participant receives the mental health support they deserve.

Job Readiness Training

Preparing young adults for employment through skills development, coaching, and career connections.

Building Stronger Communities Together

We measure our success not just in numbers—but in transformed lives.
 Through mentorship, guidance, and coordinated care, HGSS helps reduce youth involvement in the justice system, improve mental well-being, increase job readiness, and promote housing stability.

“Because of HGSS, I now have a mentor who believes in me—and I believe in myself.”
