The New Life Program is a faith-based, residential program for men and women seeking to change their lives. Whether they have been struggling with addictions, depression or caught in the cycle of joblessness and homelessness, individuals with a sincere desire to change are welcomed into this year long program. They learn to take responsibility for their actions, to re-learn values and work ethics, and to seek a new direction for their futures.
New Life Program Participants have the opportunity to:
Identify factors contributing to their homelessness and develop a plan to overcome barriers to leading a productive life.
Receive Christ-centered mentoring, discipleship and counseling.
Attend life-skills classes that include anger management, 12-steps, budgeting, conflict resolution, boundaries, etc.
Attend adult education and GED preparation.
Attend recovery support groups and work with referred agencies to address health, housing and legal issues.
Attend job preparation classes and participate in work therapy.
Learn how to manage their income to support future housing needs.
Locate a supportive church and attend Mission chapel services.
Residents are ready to continue their program outside of the Mission and live independently once they have retained:
Employment
Enough savings to be self sufficient

Those who have transitioned out of the Mission are encouraged to return for further counseling, classes and service opportunities.
