Programs and Services Overview

Are you or is someone you know in need of housing or help with addictions or dependencies? Vision House is a Christian service agency that provides transitional housing and case management for two diverse groups: one program for homeless single mothers and their children and a separate program for homeless single men recovering from drug and alcohol addictions.

Program Overview
Over 400 men, women and children have benefited from Vision House, through our housing, case management services and recovery groups.

Men's Program
The Single Men's Program is a group-housing situation that provides a stable environment for homeless men who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program. Residents are required to abide by the Vision House no tolerance policy to drug and alcohol use during their 12 to 15 month stay. Case managers meet weekly with residents in groups and individually to help hold them accountable for their sobriety, treatment plans, and their pursuit of educational and career goals. Residents receive life skills classes; mentoring; referrals for medical and dental needs; Christian counseling if desired; and assistance on obtaining vocational or academic training.

Family Program
The Family Program provides transitional housing and case management for homeless families with children. Residents are encouraged to stay 18 months to two years to receive the support and education they need to help them move into permanent housing and provide sufficiently for themselves and their families. Longer stays are allowed when women are obtaining four-year degrees. Residents are required to abide by the Vision House no tolerance policy to drug and alcohol use and to meet with case managers weekly to help hold them accountable for their treatment plans, and their pursuit of educational and career goals. Our goal is to integrate families back into the community by providing life skills and parenting classes; money management assistance; Christian counseling if desired; mentoring; children's activities; and access to medical and dental care, childcare and transportation.



More than 400 men, women and children have benefited from Vision House.
