Male guests may also apply for the Mission’s 12-18 month residential relapse prevention program.  Free meals, beds, clothing, showers, toiletries, laundry, essentials, and move-out furnishings are provided to all guests.  As a sober wellness shelter, guests agree to cease use of illegal drugs, alcohol and marijuana upon entry and to participate in random drug and alcohol screenings after the initial 2 week period.  Each guest participates in life skills, classes and in the community living environment.  Guests may choose to attend non-denominational Christian chapel services.

Our approach to homelessness addresses its root causes – disconnection – by sharing Hope and offering Revitalization Programs tailored to the specific needs of each guest. Our model is called “Rescue + Revitalize + Restore” (R3). R3 replaces transactional “hand-out” services with relationship-based transformational services, classes and life skills training and provides a path to healthy reconnection. To address the disconnection experienced by our guests, we seek to support the RE-connection of each one to their own health, vocation, faith, and community.
