Community Missions Corporation

Saint Joseph Haven center began operations in 2009. This facility serves chronically homeless disabled men in a supportive environment by providing 24/7 staff. An evening meal is provided by volunteers who interact with the residents. The men face difficult barriers to stabilization and it is the initial step from homelessness to supportive housing.

Cold Weather Shelter program provides the community with a winter season shelter during the coldest months of the year. This outreach activity provides the community with an assessment of the number of chronic homeless men and their unmet needs. This interaction provides initial steps in engaging and inviting the men to further support and resources to address the barriers to their stability.

Juda House serves chronically homeless disabled men by providing supportive permanent housing in a 16-unit single occupancy apartment setting. Juda House uses the HUD -Housing First- model. In this design homeless men are provided with the basic needs, such as housing, food, and clothing. As the individual stabilizes additional supportive services are provided. Each person establishes goals and a plan to address the issues that have caused their chroic homelessness, i.e. severe and persistent mental illness and/or addiction and chronic physical health conditions.
