Award-Worthy Housing Services
Our vision is to expand our housing services to offer more private and semi-private rooms. We plan to add an exercise or game area (e.g. basketball court, weight room), meditation and reading rooms, NA/AA meetings, Bible study nights, and additional meal or snack support.
Our Core Values is to expand our services by offering more private and semi-private rooms to better accommodate our guests. We also hope to create dedicated spaces such as an exercise and game area—potentially including a basketball court and weight room—as well as a meditation room and a reading room to support mental, emotional and physical wellness. In addition, we plan to host NA/AA meetings on-site and introduce a weekly Bible study night to foster community and spiritual growth.
