Transitional Housing
Homes are purchased and renovated to provide transitional housing for the Homeless, called H.I.M. (Homeless Initiative Mission) Houses. Four H.I.M. Houses I are up and running which accommodate up to 20 residents, including one house for women. Two more houses are nearing completion of their renovations. In addition to men and women the future hope is to house veterans and possibly couples.

Off the Street House Start-ups Ministry
We solicit donations of gently used essential household furniture to deliver to neighbors who are transitioning from the street or shelters to more permanent housing. This service helps toward creating long-term residence stability. Most requests include basic items such as beds (mattress/box spring), dressers, kitchen table and chairs, sofa, sitting chairs, end tables, TVs, entertainment centers, microwaves, etc.
