Community Impact

HOMe provides temporary shelter for approximately six months and requires guests to partner with us in order to set goals, track progress and ultimately empower guests to become self-sufficient and independent.

When our house if full, we do provide an extensive list of referrals and additional community resources that a caller may need.

Program Coordinator and guests work together to complete ongoing tasks and stay on track to graduate. We start by creating a person-centered plan designed for their individual needs. Weekly meetings allow guest and the HOMe Team to track progress and maintain focus on present goals, time management and problem solving.

Upon entry, guests complete forms to acquire subsidized, affordable housing.

When it’s time to move, HOMe and the community provide furniture, supplies and basic necessities to create a home of their own.

Sign up for benefits such as Medicaid, FNS (food stamps) and Work First.

Assist guests to acquire key missing documents such as social security cards, birth certificates and driver’s licenses.
