Program Overview

We offer a free, Christian faith-based recovery program for men experiencing homelessness and addiction. You do not need to be a Christian to enter the program, but our teaching will come from a Christian perspective. Our program requires a minimum 10 month commitment. The program consists of daily classes made up of life skills like money management, career readiness, and healthy relationships, in addition to Bible classes, discipleship classes, and relapse prevention. Participants also spend 25 hours a week at our thrift store where they learn and practice valuable soft skills like showing up on time, conflict resolution, receiving constructive criticism, and team work. Men who complete 7 months of the program will begin working on finding a job and saving money. After 10 months, men may choose to stay and work on finding housing or go to school for an additional 9 months.

Primarily we are looking for two qualities in a participant: Someone who is ready to work on their recovery and someone who can do the basics of the program. Men who feel they meet those qualities may apply. We are a drug, alcohol and nicotine-free program. A drug test will be required upon intake appointment. Men must be experiencing only minor detoxification.

Thank you for providing this information. The next step will be an evaluation of your application. We have a waitlist that fluctuates determined by a number of factors. If you’re determined to be good fit for our program and your waitlist spot comes up, we will hold a spot for you while we work out details with a parole officer, public defender, or other contact. On average it takes about a month on our waitlist for a bed to become available.
