New Life Program
Being captive to homelessness is a problem for many people!
The New Life Program exists to encourage men and women as they prepare for their return to societal living through Physical, Spiritual, Emotional, Social, Educational, Vocational, Employment and Financial programs designed to help them leave the rut of homelessness and despair.
Spiritual-Help develop the basic Christian disciplines of Church attendance, prayer,
personal Bible study, and Christian living. Chaplains are available for Biblical
counseling. All classes, workshops, and support groups are designed to promote
spiritual growth. Where possible, reconcile with family and any crime victims.
Physical-To see improvement in physical health. Regular meals and bedtimes, and a
program of healthy physical exercise is part of the daily routine. Vision and
Dental is evaluated and provided case by case by volunteer health professionals.
MIA is accessed for physical health challenges and illnesses. The Twelve Steps is
offered to confront and eliminate all addictions, including tobacco.
Emotional-To see improvement in overall emotional health.
Health is available for medical mental health needs. Improved physical health
and the development of good personal habits, proper work habits of attendance,
flexibility, punctuality, ability to follow instructions, cooperation with others and
trust worthiness will improve the general feeling of well being.
Social-To encourage the development of appropriate interpersonal social interaction. Beginning with structured interaction with others, progressing to field trips, and then to personally planned activities, social skills will develop as the experiences expand.
EducationVocational-To enable each participant to earn a high school diploma and to
receive additional education and/or vocational training.
Employment-To enhance the ability to secure fulltime, permanent employment. Steps
are taken to help the participant determine goals and establish a plan, with the added emphasis of improving that employment.
Financial-To ensure that the graduated participant is able to provide for his/her financial
needs. All outstanding fines and debts will be researched, and a Biblical plan
established to retire them. All income except a small personal allowance will be
banked toward independent living.
