This program focuses on three vital areas of heart, mind and spirit to bring stability to the life of the participant and prepare them for independent living. This is not a short-term, quick fix program.
Participants of the New Life Transitional Program must be at least 18 years of age and have no violent offenses on their record (background checks will be required upon admittance into the program).
Qualifications and Expectations:
Substance Free
All participants must be clean and sober for a minimum of 6 months before being admitted into the program. This is not a rehabilitation program; however, we will foster an environment of continued recovery to our clients through accountability with community partners so clients can maintain their sobriety.
Prenatal Care
If the participant is pregnant, she must be receiving prenatal care. The case manager will require proof of such care. If the participant is pregnant but has not received prenatal care, the case manager can provide assistance in finding a doctor, but all housing credit will be withheld until proof of care is provided.
Transportation
Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from all required appointments, classes and Bible studies. Information on the city bus transit system as well as information on how to obtain a bus pass is available if needed.
Orientation
Upon admittance into the program, the participant will meet with their case manager to go over the schedule of classes, appointments, Bible studies and program guidelines. Applicants can read over the full program guidelines below.
