Program Overview

So, how does the program work and what is a donor providing a family through their gift?

Rent and utility free housing in a clean, comfortable apartment.
A food and toiletry pantry that will cover all of their needs while in the program.
Intensive one-on-one budget counseling to teach families how to budget “to the penny” every week on an “all needs/no wants” system that focuses on growing budgeting skills, paying down debt, and developing an emergency fund.
Goal setting, problem solving, and self discipline skills with help from a hands-on case manager, who will encourage and require each family to take responsibility for their own actions and life. Case loads are small to ensure the case-manager can take time to delve into every aspect of the families needs.
Life-skills classes dealing with such practical topics as parenting, nutrition, legal issues, childcare, healthy living, stress management, goal setting, etc.
Community living classes that discuss interpersonal skills, landlord-tenant and neighbor relationships, fire safety, home upkeep, etc.
Dental, medical, and eye care for the entire family.
Volunteers who provide haircuts, auto repair, tow service, emergency transportation, babysitting, budget counseling, tax preparation, etc.
Donated work uniforms, IDs, vehicles, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Birthday presents, household goods, furniture, and food.
Linkage to programs to receive their GED, smoking cessation, toiletries, and professional services (mechanics, doctors, dentists, barbers).
Children’s programming such as tutoring, field trips, mentoring, summer camps, and other youth programs to help them grow up to become self sufficient adults.
Pastoral care focused on listening to the families in their need, not on pressuring them to earn help through a false conversion assent.
