O.U.R. Mission Home for Women, Children, and Families

Transitional Housing 

Emergency Home  

Homelessness can be a difficult time for adults. But the situation becomes even more heartbreaking when children are involved. O.U.R. Mission Home is a 178-bed transitional housing facility accommodating single women, single mothers with children and married couples with children.   

The facility’s clean, home-like atmosphere provides residents private and semi-private rooms and bathrooms at no charge. Homeless women, children and families live in the transitional Home until they are able to regain their footing and live a self-sufficient lifestyle once again.

O.U.R. Mission Home’s program consists of the following:

• Residents are required to successfully complete Victorious Life Class and Career Learning Center requirements
• Residents are required to either be actively pursuing further education or gainfully employed
• Residents are required to save 75% of all income in their Mission savings account (100% of the funds are released to the resident upon move-out as down payment for housing)
• Residents are required to complete their daily chores around the Mission and keep their rooms clean at all times
• Residents are required to attend weekly chapel services and become actively involved in the local church of their choice

Each resident of O.U.R. Mission Home is assigned a case manager who helps map out a customized program for permanent recovery and walks with the family until they can stand on their own.

In early 2012 O.U.R. Mission Home also opened an emergency shelter for single women. We have seen a great need for this service and are meeting this need with a 24-bed facility where women who are living on the streets can have a safe place to sleep at night and also receive a hot meal.

Women living on the streets in need of safe shelter are welcomed to the O.U.R. Mission Emergency Home for seven free nights—after the first 7 free nights a $6 dormitory fee is requested. The 24-bed dormitory for emergency guests is occupied each night on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone not under the influence of a controlled substance. Each guest receives the following services:

Nutritious meals / Clean clothing / Hot showers / Safe shelter / Nightly Bible studies / Christian mentoring

These homeless and hurting women are taking the first step toward recovery by seeking safe shelter and are treated with Christ-like respect and dignity throughout their stay.
