ReLAUNCH UNDER THE BRIDGE

YOUR DONATION IS CRITICAL TO HELPING US LAUNCH ESSENTIAL DAY SPACE PROGRAMMING

Please consider a one-time or recurring donation. 

ReLAUNCH is proud to enter a new phase in our Day Space operations as we continue serving Knoxville’s unhoused community. Our Day Space is now open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., providing a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can meet their basic needs and connect with supportive services.

Current services include:

• Three meals each day
• Showers
• Filtered drinking water
• Assigned lots for a sense of consistency
• Porta potties
• Necessities of daily living, including hygiene items and basic essentials

As we expand and strengthen our services, our commitment remains the same: to provide compassionate care, restore dignity, and create pathways toward stability and self-sufficiency while helping ensure Knoxville remains a vibrant community with boundless economic opportunities.

ReLAUNCHING BACK INTO SOCIETY:   To flourish, it's essential to begin by surviving and achieving a sense of stability. We want to help restore dignity and stability for our unhoused neighbors by providing food, water, restrooms, showers, hygiene products, basic first aid, and, most importantly, to be welcomed with kindness.   We have partnered with numerous agencies to act as a resource command center for social services to support individuals experiencing homelessness comprehensively and materially.  

COMMUNITY IMPACT:  Knoxville is a hotspot for economic opportunities and tourism.   The inherent challenges of performing basic, private life-sustaining activities in public spaces due to a lack of shelter lead to public health issues, safety concerns, and economic burdens for the broader community. We believe that by providing these wrap-around services, we can reduce the nuisances in our city caused by homelessness.   

OUR COMMINTMENT TO EQUAL ACCESS: At ReLAUNCH, we believe every person deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to receive help. Our services are available to all individuals on a non-discriminatory basis, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.

We strive to ensure that every person who comes to ReLAUNCH is aware of the facilities, services, and assistance we provide, including meals, showers, essential services, advocacy, referrals, and connections to housing, treatment, and community resources.

ReLAUNCH is committed to providing meaningful access to services for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). No person will be denied services because of language barriers. When necessary and reasonably available, ReLAUNCH staff will utilize interpretation and translation services, including language assistance provided through community partners or professional translation resources, to ensure clients can understand and access available services and assistance.

Our mission is simple: to meet people where they are and provide compassionate support and clear pathways toward housing, healing, and hope.
