Description

Located at 1605 Mestina Street, this community-based program combines transitional housing, and supportive services which are intended to create permanent housing and individual self-sufficiency.
This initiative solidifies their vision of delivering holistic services all under one roof.
The Mother Teresa Transitional Housing for Men has a capacity of 24 private bedrooms.
Their residents share common areas such as restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, kitchen, and recreation areas.
In addition, supportive services and workshops are provided; i.e. rental counseling, Fair Housing, budget and money management, saving for permanent housing, anger management, nutrition and cooking classes, drug and alcohol prevention, workshops for the development of social skills needed for re-entering back into society, assistance with locating employment, and opportunities are made available for those wanting to return to school.
Their Transitional Housing program specializes in serving homeless single men with serious enough barriers, resulting in getting or keeping permanent housing.
It provides an ample period for stabilization, learning, and planning, all which are needed if they are ultimately to leave homelessness and stay housed. Most individuals may already have a history of leaving homelessness for housing but not being able to maintain permanent housing, or some may have characteristics that are known to lower the probabilities of being able to maintain housing without support.
