DISCIPLESHIP

Twelve-month in-house work program that gives men the opportunity to contribute to the Mission directly. Program participants reside in individual rooms on our 2nd floor. Disciples help with Mission operations, have regular work assignments, and attend prayer meetings and Bible studies.

Discipleship Work Requirements: In order to apply for this program, a man must first stay in one of our overnight relief programs for a minimum of two weeks without incident. 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.

Program fees vary depending on the sub-program and income level of each applicant.  For more information or to apply please stop at our Welcome Center during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.
