One of the first steps in our program is centered around Mindset. We first deal with mindset, because if you don’t deal with mindset and work to shift it to a more positive way of thinking then your program will not be effective and we are only wanting to make a difference to last a lifetime.

We will bring the resources the participants’ need to our Wellness and Enrichment Center.  We will also host Health and Wellness Hubs a few times throughout the year where we will bring resources in different areas in the county under one roof to support those experiencing homelessness and mental health challenges that are not in our program. We will collaborate with other organizations and support them this way.

Our program is person centered, which means we meet each person where they are and we shape our program around their needs. There is no direct set time frame for how long a  participant needs to stay in the program.  Although we would like to see participants move into their forever home as soon as possible, we know this process can take a while.   Since we may be working with women experiencing mental health challenges, we assist them until they are ready to move to the next steps of getting into their forever home.  After all, it is about stability to maintain housing so that there is one less person living on the street.

We are running our program in strategic steps in order to ensure that all participants are grasping and learning the skill set needed to be successful moving from point A to point B and so on but in their timing.
