It is the only program in the area that offers shelter to entire families, including teen boys and single dads. Family unit must include children in order to be eligible for entry into our program.

Network Congregations
There are two types of congregations in our network that provide assistance to families: Host Congregations provide guests with weekly living facilities as well as basic necessities for the guests. Volunteers from host congregations provide guests with meals, support, and welcoming care. Support congregations assist host congregations in providing volunteers and help needed to run the facilities.
