SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Homeless Outreach There are many places the homeless can go to for help, but for 100's getting to those places isn't easy and those that need practical supplies such as tents, sleeping bags, etc. are often told those items weren't provided. The majority of help available to them is located within the the downtown corridor, yet the largest portion of the homeless are not. Our outreach teams cover the entire county and we go where they are and we do so 7 days a week if needed. Often making visits at night also. Home Street Home to Home Sweet Home Not all homeless people qualify for housing assistance through normal channels and many who are have difficulty finding housing before the time limit runs out. We offer emergency housing, move-in and/or rent assistance on a case by case basis whenever possible. Heading Home Whenever reuniting families is possible we want to help. From being the conduit for meaningful and possibly healing communication between all parties involved to providing the transportation costs to make the family reunion happen, we are happy to be the bridge that could make it possible for them to be heading home. Homelessness 101/Educational Seminar This is perfect for those who have a desire to help the homeless, but don’t know how. Or…just want to know more about the homeless condition.The homeless community is unlike any other segment of society and Steven will cover how to reach out in a way that is comfortable for both parties, the “do’s” and “don’t’s” concerning interaction with the homeless and what to expect when you are “in the field” as a group or on an individual basis. And he will do so in a “having lived it” way, equipping you with knowledge and practical applications of that knowledge…not from a clinical opinion, fashioned by people who have never “been there”, but from a “been there, done that” point of view instead. And discuss using the R. E. A. L. approach when dealing with the homeless…RESPECT, ENCOURAGE, ACCEPT and LOVE. A Place Called Home The Tomlin House, Opening spring of 2020!Halfway house, sober house, program house or transitional housing, temporary housing, emergency housing, etc. When it comes to those who are struggling to survive life on the streets, these terms are used quite often. However, the term you rarely hear…if at all…is HOME…except to describe their condition and then “less” is added. It’s time to change that. From the beginning part of my dream was to provide a next step opportunity for our friends. One that would move them off the streets…not into a house…but a home…and allow them to begin the process of recovery, grow stronger, heal and eventually be ready to stand on their own two feet. “A Place Called Home” will give them that opportunity. We are in the very early stages, but are so excited about the future. This will be a radical departure from the way things have been done in the past, however, we believe this change is long overdue. The time has come to stop getting them ready for a “house” and start getting them ready to go “home”. STEVEN YOUNG, FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HOME STREET HOME MINISTRIES
