About the program:
Provides housing to 50 homeless people, 16 women and families and 34 single men. The "tough love" policy of the facility requires each resident to work toward a change in their lifestyle from homeless, substance abusers, and unemployment to a productive life, free of drugs with full-time employment. Each resident not involved in a substance abuse or apprenticeship program, is required to work and save funds to prepare to move to their own housing.
