Applicants must volunteer in a work assignment alongside current disciples for a probationary period and pass a drug screening test.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
Through any one of three sub-programs (Work Transition, Back to School, Fixed Income), men accepted into our THP can receive six-month housing contracts that will allow them to save money, learn how to budget their finances, and work with our Case Management Team to assist in procuring permanent independent housing appropriate to each mans income and situation.
