Located on the same property as Elise House, Faith house is a 7 bedroom home which once served as a rooming house. Due to the extra large rooms, Faith house is able to house 8 men as well as the house managers.
Faith house is so named as a result of a number of local religious communities coming together and raising the monies for us to secure this house.
This entire project has been a leap of faith. Our Faith in God that he would lead us down the right path, The Faith of our local church communities in us to do the right thing, and our residents faith in our community has made all of this possible.
As in Elise House, the men have responsibilities that they are expected to meet.
Some of those responsiblities include the payment of community fees to help the house continue to run, household duties so that the house remains in good condition and the showing of respect for each household member.
We also expect all of our residents to have goals while they are in our program. Those goals may be financial, housing, or family. We start their stay with us by sitting down and determining each residents' goals and a plan of action to obtain those goals. Weekly progress reports are done to ensure that each resident is doing what they need to in accomplishing their goals.
We firmly believe in a small step approach, and as such we take long term goals and break them down into smaller short term goals that are easier to obtain and raise the resident's self esteem as they see progress towards each goal being reached.
