Having lived and worked in Minneapolis/St Paul most of their lives,  Jenny Gaines and her family continue to make the Twin Cities their home.  Jenny's family loves the local community because of the diversity and imbedded passion about social justice.  While working at a great non-profit since 2012, Jenny managed to build strong community relationships in the fields of both anti-sex trafficking and substance abuse.  Jenny is a sought-after speaker, facilitator and advocate for women.

Having overcome alcohol/drug addiction, prostitution, abusive relationships, being homeless, having a criminal background and broken family relationships, Jenny believes that no one should be defined by their worst moment or their worst choice in life.  Everyone makes mistakes, each day is a new beginning, and everybody deserves the opportunity for change and to be an overcomer!

A fresh beginning and opportunities for a new life require introspection.  This daily process starts with a safe place to live, where one is supported and feels safe. Accountability and being in relationship with others while recognizing who we are meant to be is an exciting process.  Jenny, her father Steve, and Sister Christine understand what it means to make that transition and to make JCS Affective Sober Living available so that others will have the opportunity to experience safe and sober living.
