What we offer…
The First Steps to Independence Program is for single adults who are committed to change. We support participants as they achieve an overall increased wellness and reach personal life goals within a safe and inclusive home. Our transitional housing-based program focuses on each individual’s success while providing support in the development of positive life skills with a goal of 3-5 years to completion.
With support from our team of professionals in transitional living, participants of the program will develop a solid foundation from which they can develop and realize personal goals and dreams and achieve a life of independence.
