What Does The Program Involve?

Motivation and discipline are key factors in becoming a successful participant in this program. While at Hope Crest, the Program Coordinator provides on-going case management services to the program participants. Participants must attend weekly meetings with the Program Coordinator during the first month, and twice per month thereafter (or more frequently as needed) to work on finances, goals, and any barriers that may hinder the successful completion of the program. Full financial disclosure and compliance with our financial literacy program is mandatory.

All adult participants must maintain enrollment in a college or vocational training program while at Hope Crest. Program participants are provided supportive living arrangement at a cost of $300 per month.

Once the family has completed the necessary steps and is ready to leave Hope Crest for permanent housing, they will be given the opportunity to continue their work toward self-sufficiency through the Pathway of Hope program.
