    GROUP RESIDENCE

    The purpose of the group residence is to provide not only longer term residency to the homeless, but also a safety network of supportive services that provides opportunities to improve educational, social and economic status so that clients may regain independence, self-sufficiency and return to more traditional housing. We also provide structured services and programs for the children who enter our homes.
