Walking With Families Toward Lasting Independence

My Father’s House Program

Learn More
Families begin their journey in our main residential program, where they receive:

  • Safe Housing: Up to 28 private family units with kitchenettes and bathrooms.
  • Basic Needs: Food, clothing, and a secure campus for parents and children.
  • Life Skills & Education: Classes in budgeting, parenting, employment readiness, and more.
  • Case Management: Weekly goal-setting and personalized support..
  • Relational & Spiritual Growth: Opportunities for healing and optional faith engagement.

This structured environment helps families build healthy habits, restore relationships, and prepare for sustainable independence.

Stepping Stone Transformational Apartments (SSA)

Learn More ➜
Located next to our main shelter, the Stepping Stone Transformational Apartments offer a bridge between shelter living and full independence.

Families who have completed our main program but still face rental barriers—like past evictions, debt, or low income—can live in one of 12 affordable units for up to a year. They continue case management, attend financial and life skills classes, and pay a small program fee to build rental and credit history

Opened in 2016, SSA provides the final step toward stable, independent housing.

A Pathway to Hope

Together, these programs create a pathway for families to move from homelessness to lasting independence—one step at a time.
