Our program is unique among shelters. We are not a halfway house
nor are we a mission or a night shelter. We provide more structure
and program thM a night shelter (ie. Salvation Army) but we are not as
intense a program as a halfway bou~e.
We are dormitory style with house rules and a curfew. Clients
are expected to donate $35.00 per week as soon as they start receiving
an income. They are also assigned house jobs to be done daily. ~
Many of our clients come out of detox or treatment and they are
expected to continue to work on their recovery staying straight & sober.
