HAYWARD HOUSES for women BELMONT APARTMENTS for men
Once released, ex-offenders move into one of the Discipleship Training Center Apartments where they have a safe living environment and learn to apply their Christian principals on the outside. Here they receive food, clothing, employment assistance and transportation support as they re-enter the job market. We also help them to locate a church home and some kind of service opportunity..
We presently have one apartment complex and two houses which can accomodate 32 men and three 4 bedroom homes which will house 14 women. We are developing additional facilitiesfor men and women who aren't quite ready to be on their own but don't need the structure of our programs may live for an additional 6 - 12 months. We are looking for additional men's and women's facilities.
"I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel."
