While the Mission continues to provide basic emergency services, it is placing greater emphasis on recovery, encouraging motivated people through the steps to responsible, independent lives. 

People who come to the Mission for help are victims of poverty, powerlessness and hopelessness; they suffer from the tragic consequences of violence, drug/alcohol abuse, child abuse, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, unemployment and depression. They need much more than basic food and shelter to turn their lives around.

Men

Women and Families

These are comprehensive recovery programs that address not only the immediate basic needs for shelter, but also causative agents for this situation. Students work in various positions at the Mission and take courses in recovery.

Crossroads Transitional Phase

Once a student has taken the steps needed to complete his or her program and is ready to transition out into self-sufficiency, he or she enters the Crossroads Program.  For the men, it is an apartment located on the Salvation Army's campus. For the women, it is a private room at Bethel Village. Each tenant pays a small fee for room and board while saving for rent and deposits. He or she maintains full-time employment and remains sober, while participating in some Mission functions, attending classes, and mentoring the newer students.
