Our Goals:
- Basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, and transportation) are met for all residents.
- Residents are able to live, work, and play in a safety-focused environment.
- Residents are made aware of available healthcare-related resources and encouraged to use these resources to improve their individual and family health outcomes.
- Residents are prepared to handle personal emergency situations that involve an individual or family.
- Children and adults are encouraged to achieve healthy (nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation) lifestyles.
