The Men’s Transitional Housing Program is a four stage program designed to help motivated, homeless men re-establish themselves as independent, self-supporting members of our society able to assume their responsibilities to their families, co-workers and friends. It currently consists of:

• Stage 1: An emergency shelter component (Andrew’s Place) where candidates reside in a highly structured environment until they find employment and get their first pay check.
  
  
• Stage 2: A dormitory-style housing program (Criswell House) where employed residents participate in daily case management and demonstrate their commitment to a strategic recovery program.
  
  
• Stage 3: Two subsidized half-way houses (Burton House & Daughtry House) where graduates of the Stage Two program may continue to live in community and work their recovery program with ongoing staff supervision and case management.
  
  
• Stage 4: An aftercare program whereby housing graduates can continue their case management with the Friendship House staff and provide communal support and peer ministry to men still in the residential stages of the program.

Of the roughly five hundred men who have participated in the Transitional Housing Program over the last fourteen years, the vast majority have been dealing with addiction and relationship issues that have cost them their families, their jobs and even their freedom. Every one comes to the program wanting to work on their external issues -- employment, fines, child support, bad credit, probation, etc. The men who make it are those with the courage and endurance to deal with their internal issues -- recovery, self-esteem, relationships and personal beliefs.
