PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE
AND GROWTH
Earl's Place is a transitional housing program providing
long-term (up to two years) housing and supportive services to seventeen men at
a time.
The men are provided with a permanent address, a place to receive
mail and phone calls and perhaps most importantly a place to call home, where
concerns such as having a clean, safe place to sleep, shower and keep their
belongings is alleviated. For some this is the first time they have had a key of
their own.
The program promotes independence and
acquisition of skills using a model that emphasizes individual responsibility
and accountability. Once accepted into the program each man is provided with
intensive case management to determine both short and long-term goals and access
to community services including health care, education and job training.
Ultimately the residents are assisted in
obtaining affordable permanent housing. One year of formal aftercare is
provided to help ensure success.
Residents who successfully complete the
program are Visionaries. To read about one man's journey use
