The Saint John's Program for Real Change has been helping women and children in Sacramento for the last four decades with housing and education.

On Friday night, some of their successful clients graduated to a new chapter in their lives.

"We want to give everybody that second chance," said Porcha Chambers, Saint John's Program coordinator.

Nine women moved from homelessness to stable living environments.

"I'm very proud of myself," Gocelyn Granderson said.

Granderson is one of the graduates from Sacramento's Saint John's Program for Real Change. The Sacramento native and single mom had been homeless for about two years before getting help from the program.

"There has been days where I couldn't have seen myself here right now, I couldn't have seen myself in school," Granderson said.
