COSTS
There is a non-refundable induction fee of $500 (payable by cash or money order) to be paid upon your arrival. The program is largely dependent on the free will offerings of concerned individuals to meet daily costs.

WAITING LIST
If it is determined that you are eligible for the program, you will then be placed on the waiting list. While on the list you will be required to call the center every Monday in order to maintain your position on the list until a bed becomes available. You may call in between the hours of 9 AM to 5 PM.
As a general, we do not have a waiting list.
ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM
The Intake Coordinator will arrange an intake day and time. Upon arrival you will be checked into the dorm and meet with a staff member to complete the necessary entrance forms. All belongings will be thoroughly checked to make sure you have only what is allowed as mentioned on the Admission Information Sheet, which you received with your application. At this time you will also be checked to make sure that you are not carrying contraband on your person. A brief phone call will then be permitted to your family to let them know that you have arrived safely.
