Phase I (First 6 Months) - Clustered Living

Phase II (6-12 Months) - Transitional Living

Phase III (6 Months) - Community Living

Phase IV (3 Months) - Aftercare

During this phase, which is called clustered community living, the men live together in shared supervised living quarters. A Case Manager works closely with them onsite, as well as a Peer Support Specialist. While in Phase I, the residents are expected to:

  • Seek employment

  • Begin budgeting program

  • Obtain a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) or acquire a new skill through vocational rehabilitation or job training

  • Participate in mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment sessions, and/or parenting classes

  • Attend Bible study voluntarily

  • Fulfill random urine screens and curfew checks

  • Begin weekend visits with family and/or friends

During this phase, the men work on reuniting with family members

Men live in a clustered community, but in their own unit under supervision.

  • The men receive help filing for custody arrangements of children and assistance with any type of visits that are granted by the Court.

  • The men are reunited with their children and/or significant other and are participating in community activities.

  • A housing analysis is conducted to determine the best type of permanent housing for independent living.

  • Monthly housing inspections are conducted during this phase with random urine testing and Case Management continuing.

  • Create a budget and develop a savings plan.

  • Work on building credit.

During this phase, the men are more independent but still receiving support from staff:

  • The men have secured permanent affordable housing.

  • The men are living independently in permanent housing units, fully employed.

  • The men are still connected to the support system, but with decreasing Case Management.

  • The men are now fully employed, learning to navigate within peer networks and in the community.

During this phase the men are now in permanent housing. They are monitored in all areas of previous phases. The men in this phase should be managing areas such as:

  • Finances (paying rent on their own and on time, maintain a checking and savings account)

  • Parenting

  • Staying clean and sober

  • Maintaining employment

  • Maintaining healthy relationships with family members and friends
