WE SUPPORT DESIRED CHANGE

for men and women experiencing homelessness, substance abuse, domestic abuse, and human sex trafficking.

HOW WE HELP

We use the shelter as a recruiting ground for those seeking life change, then build relationships, gain trust, and start change talk conversations. Then, we can implement all the numerous resources available, including the Gospel of Jesus Christ and its powerful truths and promises.

IMPACT

Hope is restored, thoughts of suicide, shame and guilt are diminished as souls come to accept that they are worthy of God’s love.

WE SUPPORT RECOVERY FIRST

It is very well-known that most men and women experiencing homelessness today, suffer from substance abuse. Along with substances, mental illness overtakes their minds. It is very difficult to maintain housing while still in active drug use.

HOW WE HELP

It is essential that todays homeless soul seeks the root cause of their homelessness and manages that. We assist men and women in their search for the right treatment facility. We continue communication with them while they are healing. Once they have completed treatment, we can assist with relapse prevention as they enter back into their community and family life.

IMPACT

The homeless soul is more apt to retain their new living space after treatment with proper support and goals in place. Most cannot do it alone; it is imperative that those new in recovery have a strong team in place directly out of treatment.

WE SUPPORT WOMEN IN NEED OF HOPE AND HEALING

Millie’s House of Hope exists for homeless women to experience a safe, peaceful living environment, along with personal growth and healing from their crisis.

HOW WE HELP

A faith-based program which enables women to experience who they are in Christ and how that identity provides a firm foundation for a thriving life. Woman are equipped spiritually, and guided through proper life skills teachings.

IMPACT

After their stay, which can be up to one year, ladies are prepared to have a positive impact in their community, their families, and for many, even back into the lives of their children. Women will leave Millie’s House with confidence, strategies, new relationships, and much more, which will support their new beginning.
