Homeless people are informed of the Life Recovery Program (or Lodger Program) at intake. Once Lodgers voluntarily enter the program, they must comply with the rules of the program. The core of the Life Recovery Program consists of the following:

⇒ Three weeks of assisting around the Mission and attending classes. New Lodgers are not allowed to leave the property without permission.
⇒ Lodgers must start to look for a job after their first three weeks as they continue to assist the mission and go to classes when not at work.
⇒ All education classes are mandatory while not at work.
⇒ Lodgers must cooperate with staff at all times.

Here is our current class schedule:

Mondays at 7:30 am, Bible study
Tuesdays at 6:00 pm, Celebrate Recovery (addiction recovery) / dinner and class
Wednesdays at 7:30 am, Bible study
Wednesdays at 1:00 pm, Overcomers: A Daily Choice (addiction recovery)
Thursdays at 2:00 pm, Job search time in the computer lab
Thursdays at 3:00 pm, Job skill training
Fridays at 7:30 am, Discipleship Classes
Fridays at 3:00 pm, Job skill training

As mentioned above, all Lodgers must assist at the Mission after entering the Life Recovery Program. Keeping up the grounds, cleaning, chores and assisting in the food bank are part of the Life Recovery Program.
