Programs

Although I have been volunteering primarily at the Burke Women and Children's Shelter I wanted to share information about the two other great programs The Meeting Place Mission has. FACES is a transitional housing program that provides families with assistance so they can transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing. FACES  stands for Families Adjusting, Changing, Evolving Safely. Each family develops a plan and receives assistance in achieving their goal. Although each family has different needs in terms of time to reach their goal and help needed in accomplishing their goal, The Meeting Place Mission is committed to helping every family succeed.

The Men's Transitional Program is for homeless men that are recovering from alcoholism or substance abuse. Not only are housing and meals provided but also counseling and  job placement. These services not only give immediate assistance but will in the future as well through the obtained job skills and counseling they receive. This program transitions residents into permanent housing through building goals and plans that will lead to a lasting, permanent change.
