Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
The Emergency Lodging Program
Emergency Lodging programs are basic life support programs for men, women and families that provide food, clothing, shelter and access to life changing programs.
New Life Program, New Life Plus Hope and Transitional Housing are the three phases of a three year, residential addiction treatment program. NLP is the first six months dealing with basic addiction education and delivery; NLP is the second phase, one year in length in which clients rebuild relationships, deal with educational deficiencies, develop a work-skill and return to day to day management of their lives in a controlled environment and HTH is the final one and one half year during which they live what they have learned still in a controlled environment.
Life Skills Program is a program for women who are single heads of households who must develop the skills function as the head of their household.
New Life Addiction Treatment Program
The NLATP is two phase addiction treatment program. The first phase is six months of addiction treatment; and the second phase is restorative in nature, and runs an additional six to 24 months.
The program offers a clean, sober environment, education in recovery issues along with overcoming family dysfunction issues, life skills, nutrition, parenting and Christian counseling. Clients are referred to as"Students."In the second phase Students begin to make and pay restitution to society. They also begin employment and/or learn a marketable job skill and pay Program fees.
Recuperative Care Program
The Recuperative Care Program was formed in response to a community need for post-hospital recuperative care facilities for homeless and indigent patients. Hospitals, doctors, social workers or other homeless service providers may make referrals to a 24 hour residential program. The average stay is 45 days; and includes food, clothing, shelter, recuperative care for a medical condition and case management, so the patient can be referred to permanent housing upon discharge.
New Hope Life Skills Program
NHLSP provides single women and single female heads of households with the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing while they resolve the immediate issues leading to their homelessness and then to develop skills to avoid homelessness in the future. Program components include education, work skill development, anger management and budgeting to name a few.
Hope Learning Centers
HLC affords New Life Programs students the opportunity to learn or improve basic skills such as reading, writing and math leading toward earning a GED.
Free Clothing and Furniture Ministry
FCFM operates to provide the homeless, low-income and families affected by fire and natural disasters with clothing and furniture. Donations are picked up throughout San Joaquin County and distributed at GCRM's campus.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our over arching ministry goal is to change the lives of the homeless from their focus on immediate gratification through self-destructive behavior to gratification that is a result of personal achievements in education, socialization, spirituality, employment and physical and emotional well-being one person at a time.
Related goals:
1. The addict and the under-skilled man or woman will complete their program with a basic understanding of what led to their homeless predicament; relapse prevention skills; new, supportive relationships; spirituality; employment and permanent housing.
2. The recuperative care patient will complete his/her recovery successfully; will seek treatment for their underlying addiction issue when appropriate and will leave with permanent housing, proper identification, will be established was a patient of a primary care physician and will be receiving public assistance he/she is entitled to.
3. The representative payee client will have as much knowledge of personal money management as they are capable of understanding and will have their monthly SSI/SSA check managed for them so they will have food, clothing and shelter and some form of recreation to the extent their check will purchase for them.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The addicted and lifeskill applicant is first assessed for level of commitment and need; after admittance a health history, addiction history, education and work-skill assessment and social tree are taken. The student is reacquainted with personal hygene responsibilities. The typical day includes 4-6 hours of relevant class time, janitorial or food services work responsibility, chapel and appropriate recreation and socialization.
The recuperative care patient is first assessed for appropriateness of referral, then admitted, assigned a bed, provided appropriate clothing and three meals daily. The care staff develop an appropriate care plan which includes followup visits from the referring hospital staff and/or transportation to referral appointments. The case manager assesses the patient's possession or need of identification, public assistance and housing they qualify for and what road blocks exist to prevent receiving them. Then the social worker and the patient begins work to put assistance in place, so the patient can be discharged to permanent housing instead of returning to a state of homelessness. The patient is discharged when both their medical recovery is complete and permanent housing are available.
The representative payee client assists in the preparation of a monthly and annual budget. The client provides the payee program with invoices and receipts for all budgeted purchases. The payee program pays for budgeted rent and utilities and provides weekly disbursements for food, clothing and incidentals including modest recreation.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
GCRM has trained and experienced administrative as well as program staff in every program. We have appropriate and well maintained facilities for each program. And, we have an experienced, dedicated administrative board of directors. We have always sought and used continuing education for administrative staff an department heads.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have a history of successfully achieving our program goals.
New executive leadership is successfully developing new sources of funding to expand and improve programing and to upgrade facilities and equipment.
As of December 1, 2020 GCRM will have added 118 new beds for women and their children enrolled in the New Life and Life Skills Programs.
Our commitment is to become 80% self-sustaining over the next five years.

- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
