Our Programs

The Homeless to a Home program provides Permanent Supportive Housing for dually diagnosed (mental illness and substance abuse disability) homeless women at risk of experiencing multiple barriers in maintaining sobriety, employment and housing stability. The client has no time limit on stay and has access to a flexible array of comprehensive services, including medical, mental health, substance abuse management and recovery, vocational and employment training, money management, case management, life skills, transportation and household establishment. The main goals are remaining permanently housed, maintaining sobriety, and working with the client’s disability to achieve the fullest quality of life possible.  The House of T.I.M.E. was founded on the philosophy that one must “earn” what they receive. In continuing our philosophy, this program incorporated many guidelines that are “up and above” any of our funding requirements. All our clients are expected to “help themselves” as much their disabilities will allow. Most of the clients are working, but if they are unable to secure or maintain employment, they are required to volunteer in some capacity. A client sitting at home being idle is not an option for continued stay in this program.   Clients live independently in apartments within the community. The client's Individualized Treatment and Permanent Housing Plan is developed during client intake and services needed by the client is accessed and secured within the first 30 days and in most cases within the first five days. Community networking and knowledge sharing is vital to the success of the client and is achieved by consistent effort of the residential manager and case manager of record. Client's progress is discussed weekly in a treatment team environment that includes dedicated staff members, Medical Director and a Licensed Counselor. This program is designed to help one of the most disadvantaged populations; women with substance abuse issues, a mental illness and homelessness. This population and sub-populations are very difficult to serve, but by using our methodology of treatment and working with each client individually, we have been very successful in providing the necessary services to help each client regain their lives, gain meaningful employment, secure stable and permanent housing and achieve individually set goals.
