Still, Scott said she has a lot to be thankful for this Christmas. And I'm truly grateful for this program and that I got here. I didn't want to fall through the cracks. Faith House offers a yearlong program of housing, counseling and life skills training for homeless women and women with children. In operation for nine years, it is run by the Salvation Army and funded through the city Office of Emergency Shelter and Services.
Residents pay small housing fees from their public assistance checks during their one-year stay.
We use the recovery model. If you own your homelessness, and not put it on this person or this circumstance, you can conquer it. It works for Scott. They allow me to go to my meetings and to go to wherever I need to go to get help for myself. They allow me to pursue that.
