HOME PROGRAM
What can a new guest expect when entering HOMe? We require each guest to partner with us; this is an agreement that guests progress through the program consisting of:
MENTOR PROGRAM
An essential part of HOMe’s success plan is for each guest to have two mentors who guide them through their journey to self-sufficiency. Mentors are compassionate volunteers who go through training and are committed to supporting guests during this challenging season of their life.
Jill Holman is our Mentor Advisor who trains and manages mentors. She provides support and guidance so mentors are prepared and can always come to her for advice and guidance.
Jill will be holding the next mentor training in June 2021, assuming we have Covid under control and are comfortable meeting. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Jill to be put on her list for the next mentor training or for more information: HolmanJill@gmail.com
AFTERCARE PROGRAM
We have expanded our program to include an aftercare component for guests who have successfully graduated from HOMe. These families have been placed into housing but occasionally may need additional guidance, assistance and connections to resources.
Some of the ways we have already served our former guests include:
We are utilizing staff, mentors, and volunteers to ensure that former guests have the tools to continue to thrive in our community. HOMe is just the beginning of their journey, and their futures are very bright.
REFERRALS
HOMe receives over 100 calls a year inquiring about housing and other needs. Our staff provides an extensive list of resources for everyone we cannot house.
Referrals include active domestic violence situations, adult men, substance abuse rehabilitation, and victims of sex trafficking. We are always updating this list so we can be a valuable service for anyone with the courage to reach out for help.
