Fayetteville Area Operation Inasmuch

Living Hope is a 30-bed residential program for homeless men that holistically works with each man to transform him from receiving government assistance to becoming financially independence. The program is based in The Lodge, which is a barracks-style structure that houses the first three phases of the program. It is during these phases that the resident is provided life skills and job skills training, as well as assistance in managing T/trauma-related triggers that can render him dysfunctional, and a return to homelessness. For those unable or not desiring to complete the 18-month to 2-year program, assistance is provided so that the resident can improve the quality of his life with the intent of meeting personal goals. If the resident completes the program, he should be employed and ready to enter the next phase in the Frink Street transformation houses.

The fourth phase of the Living Hope Program is based in our six houses on Frink Street. The houses have enough rooms to house up to twenty-four men. Here the resident learns how to manage finances, save for deposits, save for transportation, and care for his own home. This phase, called Growing Resilience, also works to reinforce those resources and support systems needed to remain financially independent, such as a mentor, and/or an AA sponsor, (if needed).
